Deleted from the public version was a line in the classified report that cast doubt on whether Hussein was prepared to support terrorist attacks on the United States, a danger that Bush and his top aides raised repeatedly.

There is so much information out there that leads to questions on the validity of the assertions leading up to the war. Why aren't a lot more people questioning the administration?

That's a great question Chris. Maybe when we stop obsessing over JJackson's flippin' nipple we will start to focus on important issues.

Our discoveries in Afghanistan confirmed our worst fears," Mr. Bush told Congress and the nation in the televised speech. He said "we have found" diagrams of public water facilities, instructions on how to make chemical arms, maps of U.S. cities and descriptions of U.S. landmarks, in addition to the nuclear-plant plans.

Monday night, the White House defended the warnings about Islamic extremist intentions, but said the concerns highlighted by Mr. Bush were based on intelligence developed before and after the Sept. 11 attacks, and that no plant diagrams were actually found in Afghanistan. "There's no additional basis for the language in the speech that we have found," a senior administration official said.
