Good analysis -- based upon what is public knowledge. Of course, that is just the tip of the iceburg. We have been given broad hints that the US and UK intelligence services have considerably more information about Iraq and its WMD programs. My guess is that this information is not being released for one of two reasons: a) the need to protect valuable intelligence sources; or b) the need to prevent all the major cities of the world from emptying in a panic. And of course, the protestors have given absolutely no thought whatsoever to the implications of their lack of knowledge, just as they have given no thought whatsoever to the consequences of their actions based upon what we DO know.

We need to know where the stuff is when we go in. If we spill the beans it will be moved before we capture it. We have to capture the stuff early on or risk massive casualties. Our troops come first.
