So who's on the hook? Colin Powell, who said in a State Department press conference today, "In terms of intention, he always had it." (The old "well he wanted them" spin.) Of Carnegie's finding that Iraq posed no imminent threat, Powell said: "They did not say it wasn't there." (Excuse me, but isn't that exactly what Saddam said in his 9,000 page weapons declaration statement a year or so back?) Naturally, Fox News was hot to report Powell's comments, though they had failed earlier to report the Washington Post report, the Carnegie report, and the New York Times report. Fair and balanced enough?
