Most Americans have never heard of the Joint Captured Materiel Exploitation Group.

Let me bring them up to speed: It is the 400-member military team whose job was to search every inch of Iraq for any and all military equipment. Well, guess what? The Bush administration has quietly pulled the team out of Iraq. Many members are back on U.S. soil, and others have been reassigned to duties related to insurgent fighters in Iraq.

Bush's Deception on Iraq

[Insider]

1. let me guess

everything they did was classified, and they've been debriefed and they cannot disclose one iota of what they did or did not find.

2. You got that right...

"Like the president, Powell has not come clean with the American people. And like the president, he seems to be cynically satisfied that many people believe - with the administration's encouragement - that Hussein played a direct role in bringing down the World Trade Center."

"As long as this powerful, false notion lives, the administration will continue to mislead and control a frightened, gullible public. Meanwhile, U.S. and coalition troops and civilians, on both sides, will continue to die in a war that was initiated by George W. Bush - who was going to war no matter what."


These last two paragraphs of this article are really sad.

Imagine, how this makes people who lost loved ones on 9/11 feel, since Bush used this as an excuse to go after Saddam. Not to mention all the people who lost loved ones in this immoral war.

You would think Americans would be outraged.
