Hide and seek  

Via Milt's File, here's a another reframing the WMD issue in Iraq as a great move in getting other proliferators out in the open. I don't buy it as an after the fact justification for war — invade a country without weapons to get other countries to abandon theirs? And I have my doubts that it's even the primary motivator in Pakistan's newest revelations/admissions — surely the DPRK's nuclear program had more to do with that discovery. David Sanger's analysis makes more sense to me: paranoia over Iraq kept our eyes away from programs and proliferation in Libya, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, and now maybe the Ukraine; the resulting intelligence failure is global.
