The problem, of course, is that Iraq would have to prove a negative, which is
not possible.  You cannot *prove* someone does not have WMD.  If they looked in
95% of every spot in the country, they could aways say it was in the remaining
5%.  Even Rumsfeld said "the absence of evidence is not the evidence of
absence."
