No-WMD evidence yet as Iraq war debate continues
A partially declassified intelligence report finds no new proof Saddam Hussein stockpiled weapons of mass destruction before the 2003 invasion. It notes about 500 degraded chemical munitions found since 2003, mostly dating to before 1991 and in poor condition. Meanwhile Rumsfeld says troop levels in Iraq may not decline, even potentially rise, as Casey plans talks with the new Iraqi government. Friends and family rally to raise defense funds for seven Marines and a Navy medic charged with murdering an Iraqi civilian, with trials pending and they face possible death sentences.
