US Built Up Iraq's Arsenal

Better late than never, I suppose. That's my reaction to the story, "U.S. Had Key Role in Iraq Buildup," in today's Washington Post. This information should have been reported immediately once Iraq shifted to the top of the news agenda, as the general details have been known since at least '98. Instead, it comes out now, after a decision to invade has already been made (just wait) and the demonization campaign against Saddam has saturated the airwaves.
