Surprise? NYT Article Also Says Saddam Was, At Time of Docs, Less Than A Year Away From Bomb

Huh? The attempt to spin this as anti-Bush may not be quite successful.

mong the dozens of documents in English were Iraqi reports written in the 1990’s and in 2002 for United Nations inspectors in charge of making sure Iraq abandoned its unconventional arms programs after the Persian Gulf war. Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away.

Perhaps there is more reason to fear some of these documents shouldn't have been posted.

But it's hard to make that case without revealing that, I repeat, Hussein was at one point one year away from building a bomb.

According to the New York Times.
