Maybe I just missed it because I only get my “major media outlet news” from NPR and John Stewart, but the article about multiple transcripts from Saddam Hussein’s staff meetings seems like it slipped away without enough attention.

… in 1996, Hussein wondered whether U.N. inspectors would “roam Iraq for 50 years” in a pointless hunt for weapons of mass destruction. “When is this going to end?” he asked… Repeatedly in the transcripts, Hussein and his lieutenants remind each other that Iraq destroyed its chemical and biological weapons in the early 1990s, and shut down those programs and the nuclear-bomb program, which had never produced a weapon

Especially considering today’s tirade by the president where he says he doesn’t regret the invasion of a soverign nation but finishing the job is not his responsibility, this should be frontpage.

I also like the fact that a GOP Congressman is to thank for furthering the cause of truth, despite his actual goal of finding a foundation for the Right Wing media’s deceptions:

Scores of Iraqi documents, seized after the 2003 invasion, are being released at the request of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee chairman, Rep. Peter Hoekstra, who has suggested that evidence might turn up that the Iraqis hid their weapons or sent them to neighboring Syria. No such evidence has emerged.
