The reason they got fooled

Britain took up the matter of Allawi's alleged summary execution of Iraqi prisoners.

Downing Street was aware of the report but said it was an issue for the Iraqi government. “This was put to Allawi at a press conference on Thursday and he denied it. As far as we are concerned the matter is dealt with,” an official said.

We asked him. He said he didn't do it. We believe him.

They believed him when he said Saddam could launch an attack inside of 45 minutes, too.

And of course, the old addage, seeing is believing is exactly backwards.

Now, if we could get an honorable U.S. Army Special Forces whistleblower from amongst Allawi's bodyguards, but I suppose that's asking for too much.

Not that there is no precedent. Meet Stan Goff.
