More Pre-War Intel Info From the British

A key Foreign Office diplomat responsible for liaising with UN inspectors says today that claims the government made about Iraq’s weapons programme were “totally implausible”.

He tells the Guardian: “I’d read the intelligence on WMD for four and a half years, and there’s no way that it could sustain the case that the government was presenting. All of my colleagues knew that, too”.

Why does the British media continue to investigate and pursue pre-war intelligence claims with more vigor than the U.S. media?

The US media has billions of dollars of legislation before Congress that would allow them to make even more money than they already do. Don’t forget, they’re making money off of “public” airwarves. But that’s not the point. The point is, the media wants what it wants (more money) and they need the Emperer’s support. Hence reports favorable to the WhiteHouse.

That’s the simplified version.

OK, so this diplomat is named Carne Ross. Is this the same Carne-Ross who is a professor emeritus of classics at Boston University? How can he have been a classics professor and a diplomat at the same time? Captain’s Quarters will be all over this glaring inconsistency.
