Thanks to the Democrats who are at the center of the news cycle today and tomorrow (at least), Kay's resignation and associated issues of Iraqi WMD are still in the limelight. Best catches so far:
White House to Review Prewar Intelligence on Iraqi Arms (NYT/IHT): I can imagine they'll be looking into this about as deeply as they looked into the Nigerian Yellowcake assertion - and once again, if he wants to keep his job, George Tenet will take the fall.
Bush Administration Retreats on Iraq Weapons Claim (Boston Globe): This angle is a result of White House Spokesperson Scott McClelllan's refusal to assert today, as he and his predecessor (and higher-ups) have in the past, that the WMD "will be found."
White House: Iraq Weapons Search Will Continue (Newsday): This article points out that Kay himself had in the past denigrated the ongoing UN inspections, and chief inspector Hans Blix, but has now - after nine months and the expenditure of about $1 billion - come to the same conclusions.
