update - CBS seems to have altered the PDF's of the report to resist cutting and pasting (and thus hinder bloggers). As usual, Kevin is one step ahead. For you newer bloggers, it's a good policy to follow - when you find something, download or screenshot it and save it - as a hedge against airbrushing or outright disappearance. The original, unlocked CBS Rathergate reports can be accessed here.
update - Charles Krauthammer - The investigation was "clueless, uncomprehending and in its own innocent way disgraceful ."

"During the period 1991-1998, Iraq submitted many declarations called full, final and complete. Regrettably, much in these declarations proved inaccurate or incomplete or was unsupported or contradicted by evidence. In such cases, no confidence canarise that proscribed programmes or items have been eliminated." - Hans Blix, Dec.19, 2002 - in his address to the UN Security Council.
