Directions
At the conclusion of his extensive investigation of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, David Kay's findings raise important questions: What does the discrepancy between the pre-war estimation of Iraq's WMD program and the post-war reality tell us about U.S. intelligence capabilities? What does it tell us about the Saddam Hussein regime? Can lessons be learned from the Iraq case in addressing similar threats posed by other nations? What purposes are served by a continuing search, now led by Charles Duelfer?
