“There was a logic that supported the CIA’s conclusions” on weapon stockpiles in Iraq
Former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith says that he sometimes wonders why more probing questions were not asked to expose the error of assuming Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. He says that part of the answer is that the conclusion the CIA came to about stockpiles made a lot of sense under the circumstances, and that there was a powerful logic to support the conclusions. He says it was perfectly logical to assume Saddam had something to hide, since he fought the inspectors and wanted out from under the economic sanctions. (1:20)
