Much ado about nothing

Remember when Cheney said this:

"But we now know that Saddam has resumed his efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. Among other sources, we've gotten this from the firsthand testimony of defectors - including Saddam's own son-in-law, who was subsequently murdered at Saddam's direction. Many of us are convinced that Saddam will acquire nuclear weapons fairly soon." -- Dick Cheney 8/26/2002

That actually wasn't what Saddam's own son-in-law said, which was:

"I ordered destruction of all chemical weapons. All weapons — biological, chemical, missile, nuclear were destroyed" -- Gen. Hussein Kamel, the former director of Iraq's Military Industrialization Corporation 8/22/1995

Talk about your cherry-picked intelligence, in his reference to this interivew with General Kamel, Cheney not only neglects to mention that all weapons were destroyed, he completely fabricates the assumption that the nuclear program had resumed. See the original interview transcript for proof.
