I know this is an older article but I didn't find it posted here yet. It's the best piece covering the Libya-Iraq-DPRK-Egypt-Iran WMD connections I have read with lots of links to background information.

It's a mystery to me that if true, why this information remains unconfirmed by the coalition governments. I don't buy the idea our government didn't know, I think they did, but just kept quiet about it, especially during the time these connections were being investigated.

One especially interesting part is this;

"Equally significant is the fact that Qadhafi had ensured that, through the Lockerbie settlement, significant funds (up to $900-million) were to go to Washington and New York law firms, providing a pressure point on Washington policymakers of almost unprecedented levels. For many politicians, there was more to be gained by carefully assisting Qadhafi than in exposing him."

Which law firms were these and what kind of pressure points are being applied on which Washington policymakers?

Time for some more research.

Man the article and links are screwed up. Can the post be deleted?

John Batchelor has John Loftus on all the time, and he keeps talking about the October surprise being the Libyan intel on Iraqui WMD's....Loftus claims the intercepted Libyan intel is why they are purring now.

By focusing entirely on Iraqi WMD programs within the physical borders of Iraq, and by refusing to discuss contextual issues, the arguments missed the point that the bulk of the Iraqi WMD work since 1991 was conducted outside the borders of the country, this being a result of the lesson which Saddam derived from the 1991 Coalition war against him.

Agree with this 100% - Have talked with a friend from the UK who says there is much behind the Libya / Saddam WMD connection - At least with regard to the R & D of it -
