] The subject of this Update is Iraqi WMD and misuse of
] the statements since his resignation from the job of
] David Kay, who headed up US efforts to find Iraqi weapons
] since the war.

Two articles on this page that I found particularly of interest:

- Wall Street Journal, "Anti-Bush partisans aren't listening to what David Kay is Saying", January 28th, 2004

- Newsday, "Why the President was justified -- David Kay or not", January 27th, 2004. This one is especially interesting because it's by Ed Koch, the former *Democratic* Mayor of New York

There are also extracts from Kay's interview with the New York Times, January 26, 2004

Koch, in his conclusion, says:

] What all this means is that if Saddam Hussein had acted
] rationally, he could have avoided war. But he was not the
] rational leader of a nation. He was a sadistic despot who
] tortured and murdered hundreds of thousands of his own people
] and invaded other countries. He used poison gas against the
] Kurds and the Iranians. He set fire to more than 700 oil wells
] in Kuwait, creating an environmental catastrophe. The world is
] surely better off without him.
