Whether the Iraqis had actual stores of unconventional weapons, Spertzel argues, is beside the point. He finds it credible that Iraq converted many of its weapons factories to civilian uses.

He is so stridently and categorically averse to taxing the wealthy that he even opposes taxes which, in themselves, enhance economic incentives and efficiency. He prefers, instead, to shift the tax burden to other, distortionary taxes...
