"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit
and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat." - Donald
Rumsfeld, ABC interview, March 30, 2003, speaking of WMDs
"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes
and commit crimes and do bad things." - April 2003, when asked

coalition did not act in Iraq because we had discovered dramatic

Services Committee, July 2003
