They never said the report was exaggerated or incorrect, just that it was being used to get backing for the war. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care why they put out the info. If it's accurate, then, politics aside, quickt screwing around with weapon checks and assassinate the man. BW "I'm coming with you! I got you fired, it's the least I can do.

Unless the economy is falls into a 2 year slump, he'll still be there.

I'd be more afraid of the Chinese secret police if I were you. Last time I checked, the U.S. didn't cart anyone off to jail for searching Google.com.

I think its time we get this issue out of committee and just take care of him ourselves.

you mean it's not already in a 2 year slump? huh. -c

The propoganda we are being fed to prepare us for war ? I'm not saying it's not at least partially true, I am just saying our leaders are manipulating us in preperation for giving us a pop gun and putting us on the front line to die. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

I meant for the next 2 years. Its unlikely that it will be in a slump that long since most recessions last only 3-6 months.

It's not exactly hidden, Christian. BW "I'm coming with you! I got you fired, it's the least I can do. Well, the least I could do is absolutely nothing, but I'll go you one better and come along!" - Homer J. Simpson

Well, that's what "leaders" have done to their people for centuries, so we should not be very surprised. I just wish they would at least try to be a little more creative in their propaganda: having "War on Iraq" all over the cable news channels all the time for the past several month is getting a bit boring...

It was enough to say: "Let's go to war, kill some men, rape some women, and burn some cities.", and people would go to war. Now they need all kind of silly excuses like human rights. :zzz: :beer:

A group of people can't be generous, thoughtful, trusting, effective, and selfless for long enough at the same time to come up with usable solutions to human nature. Just think of meetings where 2-3 people can barely agree on some stupid feature to add to a piece of software, let alone attacking the natural order of human interaction. BW "I'm coming with you!

Yes, I noticed the same thing. The timing of the release and the concern with which the governments give to the report are evidence that it is political. At the same time, Amnesty international is playing politics by criticizing the report. Because they are opposed to war, they are speaking up. If they weren't opposed to war, they wouldn't speak up. The argument that they are merely "pointing out the truth of the matter, rather than playing politics", is remarkably similar to an argument the government might use for releasing the information.

That's interesting, even in my depressive state today I was able to pick up on the humour in what he was saying. Don't get so flipping defensive all the time, it doesn't help your karma. :~
