U.S. retreats from assertion of biological weapons in Cuba
In a reversal from John Bolton's 2002 adamant claims that Cuba is a "rogue nation" with "biological weapons capabilities", the State Department released a memo last Thursday acknowledging that "split-views" exist in the intelligence departments regarding the issue. The New York Times' David Adams, referring to the government's hyped claims of weapons of mass destruction elsewhere asked, "Does the lead up to the war in Iraq ring a bell?"

This John Bolton character gives me the shivers. I would absolutely LOVE to be in on the internal politics going on at the CIA right now. I wonder who finally decided to scrap those comments about Cuba. Castro's not exactly a teddy bear, but he's not part of the 'axis of evil' club either.
