    Are you serious? Leaking tens of thousands of classified documents to discredit Wilikeaks?

    Well I don't see the US armed forces deliberately fabricating tons of documents for the purpose of discrediting some random online hangout that didn't carry any mainstream clout to speak of. Wikileaks would be fairly obscure back in 2004. On the other hand cowboy is right that if any true WMD were found (and I don't mean some dumped agrarian pesticide or something) news would've been all over it saying how America Was Right All Along.

    From that article it looks like the “found” evidence of WMD were (a) remnants of prior chemical weapons/weapon production which dates back to the first Gulf War; (b) stuff that could be anything. From a stock of agrarian pesticides, to local drugs lab, to the stuff that Discovery/Nat Graphic get overly excited about (dropping mint sweets in cola!!)...

    No they just slip a few bogus reports in amongst the massive pile to track which department is leaking the documents or even precisely who is leaking the stuff.

    It is a fact they found no WMD so wikileaks looks stupid and possibly even in cahoots with US.

    If you google it the blogs journo's are already starting questioning the veracity.

    Because, if it's on the internet it must be true.

    Well you and I know that but it only takes a few people to pass on a meme and it can spread like wildfire.
