War and Peace
"Microsoft Word documents are notorious for containing private information in file headers which people would sometimes rather not share". Looks like Tony Blair's people forgot to cover up their tracks. One more piece of evidence that the WMD hype went way, way over the top.

Perhaps that's why a poll indicates the majority of Americans believe the administration stretched the truth about the Iraqi WMD's and alleged ties to al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden.

No WMDs have been found. Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, though battered, are still out there and active. The Administration is trying to create an international peacekeeping force to take some of the burden off of the overstretched US military forces. Unrest in Iraq may be on the rise.

Some good news. Protests in Iran appear to have resumed. Colin Powell has stated that the US does not intend to intervene, suggesting it would be wiser to leave the internal conflict in Iran to play itself out.
