So Wikileaks found, in secret U.S. government reports, that:
* Saddam Hussein had not destroyed all his stockpiles of chemical weapons -- weapons of mass destruction -- which was required under U.N. terms for the 1991 Persian Gulf cease-fire.
* That the 2006 Lancet - John Hopkins "survey" had no reliable facts to conclude that six times more Iraqis (655,000) had died in the war than anyone else had documented. (Of course, National Journal and the American Association for Public Opinion Research already have revealed the Lancet "survey" as a fraud.)
* For want of a little more fuel, a British helicopter crew let Abu Musab al-Zarqawi out of its sight in March 2005, allowing him to escape and build up his Iraq terror campaign for another 14 months.

Ironically, among all the brouhaha claiming the U.S. misreported Iraq's casualties, we have our Main Stream Media misreported Iraq's casualties.

I didn't see those reports claiming 285,000 deaths. I guess most of the media got it right, for a change.
I want to see if Wikileaks has reports confirming that Saddam's regime illegally repressed the Iraqi people.
