...know Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, but we know we haven't found them ... I have to accept we have not found them, that we may not find them." TONY BLAIR, British Prime Minister, testifying on Iraq's missing biological and chemical weapons before a parliamentary committee...
...campaign so far. Bush has faced two opponents: Kerry and reality. And reality has been the tougher foe. On Friday, for example, the Republican-dominated Senate Intelligence Committee found the President's two main arguments for war in Iraq to be faulty: no WMD, no collaborative relationship between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda. Bush was forced to acknowledge on the stump that "stockpiles" hadn't yet been found, but he and especially Vice President Dick Cheney seem reluctant to abandon the Saddam-al-Qaeda fantasy. The consequences of Iraq-including the Administration's approval of the use of torture...
...courtrooms, two dictators accused of genocide and war crimes, and both offering the same defense - it's a riveting moment in the history of global justice. But despite the obvious similarities, the trials of Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein represent two fundamentally different approaches to international prosecutions.

He faces charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes, as well as conducting a campaign of genocide against Bosnian Muslims - yet an uninformed visitor...
America and Britain are still coming to terms with the faulty intelligence they presented the world during the walkup to war in Iraq - and the political fallout is getting heavy. Last week, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee issued a blistering critique of the CIA for exaggerating the threat of Saddam Hussein's illegal weapons, excoriating what it called a "global intelligence failure." That could be a bad omen for British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his intelligence chiefs, who are bracing themselves for the release this week of an independent report into the U.K.'s pre-invasion intelligence on Iraqi...
...such group, whose leaders met with TIME, is the Kata'ib al-Jihad al-Islamiyah, or Battalions of Islamic Holy War. Founded by frontline officers from Saddam's intelligence services and the Republican Guard who once shunned terrorist attacks that killed innocent Iraqis, the group represents a significant Iraqi wing of al-Zarqawi's network. The group's leaders say they now accept mass-casualty attacks as legitimate; they claim that innocents killed in such strikes go straight to paradise. A fund-raising video made by the group and given to TIME shows its members citing exhortations by bin Laden...
