Officials: We haven�t found WMDs - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com

It really bugs me when news outlets use ambiguous or half-truth headlines. In this MSNBC.com article, the headline says "no WMDs found in Iraq" (paraphrased). However, if you read a bit further, they quote a government official saying:

"We were able to determine that [the missile] is, in fact, degraded and ... is consistent with what we would expect from finding a munition that was dated back to pre-Gulf War," an intelligence official told NBC. "However, even in the degraded state, our assessment is that they could pose an up-to-lethal hazard if used in attacks against coalition forces."

So...there ARE WMDs in Iraq, just not the ones we went in expecting to find. Perhaps this is what the Italians saw, then--these old weapons that had degrated some, but still pose a threat?

Perhaps a better headline would be: "You don't need to see his papers. These aren't the droids you're looking for."
