Duelfer Finds No Iraq WMD but Hints at Remnants
The Iraq Survey Group led by Charles Duelfer reports no stockpiled weapons and no active weapons programs in Iraq. It notes Saddam Hussein pursued dormant avenues, including banned material imports and UAV work, while small chemical and biological R D efforts existed. The report suggests restart intent but confirms no WMD stockpiles, with findings differing from prior Bush administration framing.
