When the highly controversial Iraq War failed to uncover the massive stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the mainstream media went berserk. After David Kay, then head of the Iraq Survey Group (isg), concluded in January 2004 that wmd would probably not be found, online news sources produced nearly 10,000 stories about the “missing” wmd over the course of one month.
Prior to that time, of course, the experts, security officials, United Nations inspectors and media elites were in unanimous agreement: Saddam had wmd, he used them not once, but several times, and he knew how to build more and had the means to continue doing so.
