Subject: How White House Embraced Suspect Iraq Arms Intelligence
You state that "on Sept. 8 [2002], the lead article on Page 1 of The New York Times gave the first detailed account of the aluminum tubes. The article cited unidentified senior administration officials who insisted that the dimensions, specifications and numbers of tubes sought showed that they were intended for a nuclear weapons program.
'The closer he gets to a nuclear capability, the more credible is his threat to use chemical and biological weapons,' a senior administration official was quoted as saying. 'Nuclear weapons are his hole card.'
The article gave no hint of a debate over the tubes."
When do we get an apology from you? And a Part 2 entitled, "How The New York Times Embraced Suspect Iraq Arms Intelligence"?
