The Butler Report says....
Just now reading throught the Butler Report (should have already done this), and wondering, why hasn't there been any focus on statements such as:
We conclude that, on the basis of the intelligence assessments at the time, covering both Niger and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the statements on Iraqi attempts to buy uranium from Africa in the government's dossier, and by extension the prime minister in the House of Commons, were well founded. By extension, we conclude also that the statement in President Bush's state of the union address of 2003 that "the British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" was well founded.
I will have to wait a while to see if anything in the report makes an impact on anyone but the most aware politically.

UPDATE: Thus far, little is being made of the truth, but it is showing up in traces.
And Hugh Hewitt has a good piece also at the Weekly Standard.
