In the run-up to war with Iraq, President Bush accused Saddam Hussein of "deception and denial" on his country's weapons programs. Saddam denied any such programs existed.
Now it appears possible both the United States and Saddam were duped. The U.S. might have been deceived by people who claimed Saddam was lying. And Saddam may have thought he was lying, but in fact told the truth.
Iraq's alleged arsenal of chemical and biological weapons and its suspected active pursuit of nuclear arms were the chief justification for the war.
No weapons have been reported found to date. An interim CIA report from chief weapons hunter David Kay expected this week, while preliminary in nature, will apparently include no evidence of the suspected weapons stockpiles.
It is even possible, the magazine reports, that Saddam himself did not know that his WMD arsenal had ceased to exist. The Iraqis running Saddam's weapons program may have lied to Saddam, boasting of fake weapons programs simply to get more money.

1. You've published a million times what a brutal man Saddam is. He'd kill anyone for any little thing... Everyone was afraid of him and feared being executed for the littlest things. But now you're feeding us quite a few people were giving him false, critical, information. Information on the national security of Iraq. And these people did this but weren't afraid of being executed for lying to Saddam? (Let's not forgot nobody knows the outcome at the time.)
2. 'It is even possible'... with the proof the journalist provide in your story I could also make the statement; 'It is even possible Bush knew the 9/11 attack was coming.' I think we have more evidence to support that than you have to make your below statement.
The American Media is disgraceful!
