Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Chief WMD Hunter in Iraq, David Kay, to Quit

HeadlineDec 18, 2003

David Kay the top US official overseeing the hunt for weapons of mass destruction is quitting the project within the next two months well before the Iraq Survey Group issues its final report. This according to the Washington Post. To date no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq. The Post said Kay is stepping down for personal and family reasons. Meanwhile during an interview with ABC on Tuesday, President Bush was asked whether he still believes that Saddam had actual “weapons of mass destruction as opposed to the possibility that he could move to acquire those weapons.” Bush responded “So what’s the difference. The possibility that he could acquire weapons. If he were to acquire weapons, he would be the danger.”
