>3. Another nation’s (I will not mention) legal system states the “accused is guilty until proven innocent”. This seems to be how the administration is thinking on this topic.

>I recall the comments from the administration when the UN Inspectors said they could not find anything, and the administration stated, they we knew where to look. When a request for locations was made it was declined. Which leads me to believe:
>
>1. The administration has no idea where WMD are located.
>
>2. The administration wants war even thought it knows where weapons are stored.
>
>3. Two weeks ago a spokesperson for the administration stated, “The WMD from Iraq are stored in Libya”.

>The inconsistence and logic pattern of the administration make it difficult to believe this is a rational subject. In fact there is nothing rational about Iraq. In might be that the approach the administration is taking fits the occasion and many of us are just not capable of meeting the challenge to accept this as the norm. We have had too many years of conditioning through a different thought process.
