Almost every Arab country had some ties with Al Quaida. Iran and Syria far more so than Iraq. Who cares. We were told Iraq was an imminent threat and had WMD's. The fake Niger uranium reports, etc. Bush lied about intelligence and cherry picked only the miniscule amount of intel that supported the false story that he wanted to weave.

Rumsfield is now on the record saying he wants the documents released. My guess is they'll be released, and the public will be able to judge the documents themselves without having to go through biased filters. I wouldn’t say “no avail”.

Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard has called for the release of these documents but to no avail. That's important information to pass onto your readers, don't you think? I don't understand why you would pass on this information without giving it more context. But, you were also the chap who last week passed on the poorly researched story in the Chicago Tribune proving that Bush and Co didn't lie about WMD leading up to the war. I would expect a little less propaganda and a little more analysis from a moderate site. Strike 2 Callimachus.
