Before he departed on his quest for Saddam Hussein's fabled weapons of
mass destruction last June, David Kay, chief of the Iraq Survey Group,
told friends that he expected promptly to locate the cause of the
pre-emptive war. On January 28, Kay appeared before the Senate to
testify that there were no WMDs. "It turns out that we were all
wrong," he said. President Bush, he added helpfully, was misinformed
by the whole intelligence community which, like Kay, made assumptions
that turned out to be false.
