Iraq : Operation Iraqi Freedom-Con
- 9/11 Report: No Iraq Link to Al-Qaida
-- (July 24, 2003) The report of the joint US congressional inquiry into the 9/11 attacks, reveals that US intelligence never had evidence of the Hussein regime’s involvement in the attacks, or its support of Al-Qaida. The report’s statement further weakens President Bush’s justifications for the war against Iraq.

- Back to Deterrence, Please
-- One by one, the rationales for the invasion and occupation of Iraq are falling away. Administration postulations of a grave and gathering Iraqi WMD threat and of a Saddam-Osama alliance dedicated to visiting a nuclear 9/11 on the United States have evaporated in the absence of discovered WMD. The same holds for an alleged collaborative relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda and Saddam's complicity in 9/11. There is, indeed, no there there.

- Blix: Iraq War was Illegal
-- (March 5, 2004) Former chief weapons inspector Hans Blix argues that UN Security Council resolution 1441 did not give the US and the UK justification to launch war on Iraq. Blix contends that only a second resolution “explicitly authorizing” war would have legalized the invasion.

- No Proof Connects Iraq to 9/11, Bush Says
-- (September 18, 2003) The Bush administration frequently insinuated that Saddam Hussein was behind the 9/11 attacks by combining references to both subjects in interviews and speeches prior to the pre-emptive war against Iraq. Analysts ponder the consequences of the US public's continued willingness to believe this link.

- Report Cast Doubt on Iraq-Al Qaeda Connection
-- (June 22, 2003) President George Bush made claims of an Iraq-Al Qaeda terrorist link in seeking congressional support for a resolution to authorize war against Iraq in October 2002. A still-classified national intelligence report circulated within the Bush administration at that time and drew a far less clear picture about these alleged links.

- The Pentagon Has Some Explaining to Do
-- (August 3, 2003) Karen Kwiatkowski, retired US Air Force lieutenant colonel and former White House staffer, argues that the Bush administration misrepresented the case for war in Iraq. For “the answers to why peculiar bits of ‘intelligence’ found sanctity in a presidential speech…one need look no further than the process inside the Office of the Secretary of Defense.”
