WMD:MIA? IV

The plot thickens (or remains muddled)?

According to this brief piece in the Telegraph:

"We are not talking about a large stockpile of weapons," [David Kay] said. "But we know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's WMD programme. Precisely what went to Syria, and what has happened to it, is a major issue that needs to be resolved."

This is consonant with earlier remarks by Kay, which I quoted here.

I have collected together some other resources related to this matter which I shall try to collate, and include in an upcoming post. For now, note a counter-argument:

'A Syrian official last night said: "These allegations have been raised many times in the past by Israeli officials, which proves that they are false." ' [!!]

Update: Excerpts of remarks by Kay from an NPR interview - no mention of materiel gonig to Syria, but some other interesting and important matters are considered. Kay has long struck me as a thoughtful individual and assiduous investigator, and his comments here reinforce that impression.
