Saddam Hussein's WMDs - The Duelfer Report

The spin on the Kay Report tended to overlook Kay's statement that despite the absence of WMD stockpiles, the situation in Iraq pre-invasion was worse than he thought. The spin on the Duelfer report has been shaping up in the familiar way since details began leaking out about three weeks ago.

Let's note a few details that risk getting short shrift:
1) Duelfer said in an interview I saw on TV that WMDs did not exist in "militarily significant" quantities - remember that phrase. Several newspaper reports have mentioned that Duelfer's report states Iraqi labs were making small quantities of chem and bio agents better suited for individual assassinations than mass casualty incidents. That certainly makes me feel foolish for having distrusted Saddam Hussein's intentions and capabilities.
2) A graphic accompanying a TV news story (Fox, I think) had a number of bullet points from the report and one noted that many of the Iraqi senior leadership believed that the regime did have a more extensive WMD operation than discovered by the Iraq Survey Group since the war.
3) Many reports have noted that Duelfer's report backs up other sources which have maintained that the suspicious aluminum tubes acquired by the Iraqi regime had nothing to do with nuclear WMD, they were for a missile development program. But so far I haven't seen any report link this to the fact that the missile program was operating in violation of the 1991 UN cease-fire agreement.
