My mistake and I apologize profusely! It was Bob Graham of Fla., Democrat on Senate Intelligence Committee, who requested the report. And 13 agencies ( not 17 ) contributed. To hear the full program, including live interview with Graham, please access www.thislife.org and listen to the December 20, 2002 episode: "Why We Fight". Honestly explores ALL viewpoints! And Saddam Hussein is a vile monster, but I am still opposed to invasion if it will unleash a torrent of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism within our borders. All other means to oust Saddam, even engage him diplomatically ( revolting thought ) should be tried first, IMHO. Please remember: The US put him in power and gave him his weapons.Even helped him eradicate his political foes. So we are not without blame, and many worldwide resent us for this sort of meddling. ( George Washington, in his farewell address, warned about just such "entanglements"!) This is my VERY LAST political post! Honestly! I just felt compelled to correct my very embarrassing mistake, lest it lead some astray.
