US Govt DOES believe that Iraq destroyed WMDs in '95....
<snip>

U.S. analysts are also taking more seriously stories detained Iraqi leaders are telling about what happened to Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. U.S. sources say that captured Iraqis insist Saddam’s top strategic objective was to persuade the United Nations to relax sanctions on his regime. So, after Saddam’s son-in-law Hussein Kamel, head of his unconventional weapons programs, defected to Jordan in 1995, Saddam ordered intensified efforts to hide or destroy blueprints, “dual use” technology and any remaining germs or chemicals. Not only was material stashed or obliterated, but records showing what had been destroyed were also pulped.

1. Why is major media not blasting this story on the airwaves?
and in tomorrows print?

If ever there was a cover-up, this is it.

Google and you find a dozen small media - plus MSNBC - and that is it at 2:45.
