Is there another way of hitting the golfball out of sight without the skill and power of John Daly? Is it a sin to take pleasure in golf?

One of the great unresolved questions of the early twenty-first century is that of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. How far had Saddam’s WMD programs progressed prior to the United States toppling his government in 2003? And to what can we attribute the failures of U.S. intelligence – and virtually all the intelligence services throughout the world – in massively overestimating Saddam’s WMD capabilities? ... read full story / add a comment
