WMD searcher Kay's credentials: atuned to the Bush* ideology

I know we had already discussed this before in DU, but it is nice to see it in print. IMHO he will be willing to "manufacture" evidence if necessary.


Survey chief led calls to oust Iraqi dictator
By David Usborne in New York
03 October 2003

When the Bush administration was searching for someone to lead the hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the name of David Kay quickly surfaced. He seemed the perfect candidate. He had experience in Iraq and, best of all, he was completely in tune with White House thinking.

snip..

What appealed to the White House was not just Mr Kay's experience, but his distrust of the Saddam Hussein regime. And he had long given up on the UN inspection body, Unscom. Even in 1994, after he had left the IAEA, Mr Kay was making arguments the Bush administration used to justify the war.

"There is no ultimate success that involves Unscom. It's got to be a change of regime. It's got to be a change of Saddam," Mr Kay wrote at the time.

If your hand-picked sycophant can't twist the evidence to support your lies, then there is really nothing to find.

2. I can't
get over this fox guarding the henhouse mentality that's going on. Somewhere it seems that people have just given up on thinking and allowed their brain cells to die.
