7. We now know that no evidence of weapons of mass destruction has been found, six months after the cessation of major hostilities; it is likely that the Bush administration falsified or wilfully overlooked evidence that there would be none (See Barton Gellman and Walter Pincus, "Depiction of Threat Outgrew Supporting Evidence." The Washington Post [10 August 2003]). My concern is not whether that claim was true, or whether the administration believed it, but only that it was the publicly stated rationale
