Completely believable, but as presented in this article it is almost a one person say this another claims that type story--which may be why is seems unlikely Bush Co. will ever be held accountable.

This article is informative a well written. It would be better if the reporter found another source or provided a link to the document. It is also of interest that this story comes from what is considered a quality news paper in Great Britain. Why is no story on this subject available from a domestic source?

This is a profoundly important issue, and a frightening accusation. The problem with this story is that it summarizes the accusation made by one individual without offering any additional fact checking and without offering any contrasting views on the subject. (Though the author did seek comment from a Bush spokesman and an associate of Rumsfeld.)

Any journalism exposing the truth is great journalism and there is just too little of it around

This story is very relevant, and an extremely interesting. It succeeded at providing adequate context, for the issue in question, however I felt that, in terms of sourcing, this piece was quite one-sided, with Wilkerson as the only real voice. I expect this was because the other side declined to comment. Regardless, I would have liked to see at least one or two additional voices to add dimension to the piece. Also- the piece cites a document in the lede that isn't addressed in the body of the story- it is somewhat unclear what this document said exactly. If they're going to bring this document up as a form of 'evidence' I would like to see it quoted or at least know a bit more about what it said.

It's frightening to think this could be true but I would be more comfortable if a link to the document had been provided or at least another source could verify the story. As it is now it comes down to a 'he said she said' sort of thing.
