Publisher description
This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides a complete reproduction of the historic "Duelfer Report" prepared by Charles Duelfer, entitled "Comprehensive Report of the Special Adviser to the Director of Central Intelligence on Iraq's WMD Weapons of Mass Destruction" and issued on September 30, 2004. In addition, we've included a substantial body of White House, State Department, and British background material on the pre-war analysis of Iraq's WMD program and stockpiles, providing a great reference source on the controversial claims about this important issue. This CD-ROM uses next-generation search technology that allows complete indexing and makes all files on the disc fully searchable.
As a bonus, this disc also includes a complete reproduction of the Kean 9-11 Commission report, "Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States," issued in July 2004.
In his transmittal message, Duelfer writes: "Iraq has endured decades of collapsing hopes and accumulating tragedy. It is numbing to consider the waste of so much human and resource potential. Saddam's ambitions conflicted with the region and the international community... Had the events of 11 September 2001 not occurred, Saddam might well be still in power. But, he deeply miscalculated one last time and curtailed his own leadership. Saddam, his family, and cronies rose, enriched themselves, became corrupt, combusted, and collapsed. Saddam's huge commitment to weapons technology consumed the best and brightest and led them to nothing but destruction. The Fertile Crescent was turned into a land filled with risk and chaos. In many ways the arms inspectors have merely been leading the way in exploring the decay that Iraq became, and, indeed the corrupt systems that grew parasitically on Iraq as it decayed. The goal of this report is to provide facts and meaning concerning the Regime's experience with WMD. It aims to provide a dynamic analysis rather than simple static accounting of the debris found following Operation Iraqi Freedom. The report will put into context the WMD activities of the Regime and the trends and directions of the Regime with respect to WMD... This report will, hopefully, allow a more complete examination of these events by showing the dynamics involved within the Regime and where it was headed as well as the status of the WMD on the ground in 2003. The events surrounding Iraqi WMD have caused too much turmoil to be reduced to simple binary discussions of whether weapons existed at one moment in time versus another."
