你能聽信布希政權所提出來的，伊拉克的「罪證」嗎？
華盛頓郵報某篇報導告訴你什麼叫做國王的新衣。

Walter Pincus 與 Dana Milbank 報導
〈布希緊咬著關於伊拉克的遁辭〉
（Bush Clings To Dubious Allegations About Iraq ）
As the Bush administration prepares to attack Iraq this week,
it is doing so on the basis of a number of allegations against
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein that have been challenged --
and in some cases disproved -- by the United Nations, European
governments and even U.S. intelligence reports.
（布希團隊準備在本週攻擊伊拉克，這是基於許多反對（已備受懷疑的）
伊拉克總統海珊的托辭；而在某些例子裡，這些托辭已被來自美國的，
歐洲政府的，甚至是美國情資報告所駁斥。）
For months, President Bush and his top lieutenants have produced a
long list of Iraqi offenses, culminating Sunday with Vice President
Cheney's assertion that Iraq has "reconstituted nuclear weapons."
Previously, administration officials have tied Hussein to al Qaeda,
to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and to an aggressive
production of biological and chemical weapons. Bush reiterated many
of these charges in his address to the nation last night.
（數個月來，布希總統與其高層首長已經製造了一連串伊拉克的違規事例，
於副總統錢尼在星期六的斷論達到高峰，他說伊拉克「已經重建了核武。」
在此之前，行政官員已經把海珊與基地組織，與九一一，與恐怖攻擊，與
生產侵略性的生化武器扯到一起。布希在他昨晚的全國演說中重申不少這一類
的控訴。）
In outlining his case for war on Sunday, Cheney focused on how much
more damage al Qaeda could have done on Sept. 11 "if they'd had a
nuclear weapon and detonated it in the middle of one of our cities,
or if they had unleashed . . . biological weapons of some kind,
smallpox or anthrax." He then tied that to evidence found in Afghanistan
of how al Qaeda leaders "have done everything they could to acquire
those capabilities over the years."
But in October CIA Director George J. Tenet told Congress that Hussein
would not give such weapons to terrorists unless he decided helping
"terrorists in conducting a WMD [weapons of mass destruction] attack
against the United States would be his last chance to exact vengeance
by taking a large number of victims with him."
（星期六，錢尼在說明他的開戰理由的時候，強調在九一一時，「如果基地組織
已取得核武並在我們某個城市之中引爆，或是他們釋放了…某種生物武器，天花
或炭疽病」他接下來試著以阿富汗發現的證據為例，說明基地的領導人「盡力
在這些年內取得類似的能力。」
但在十月，中情局的署長 George J. Tenet告知國會，海珊不會將這種武器交給
恐怖份子，除非他認定，幫助「恐怖份子施展大規模毀滅性武器攻擊美國是他
帶許多伴一起下地獄的最後機會。」）
In his appearance Sunday, on NBC's "Meet the Press," the vice president
argued that "we believe [Hussein] has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear
weapons." But Cheney contradicted that assertion moments later, saying
it was "only a matter of time before he acquires nuclear weapons." Both
assertions were contradicted earlier by Mohamed ElBaradei, director
general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who reported that "
there is no indication of resumed nuclear activities.
ElBaradei also contradicted Bush and other officials who argued that
Iraq had tried to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes to use in
centrifuges for uranium enrichment. The IAEA determined that Iraq did
not plan to use imported aluminum tubes for enriching uranium and
generating nuclear weapons. ElBaradei argued that the tubes were for
conventional weapons and "it was highly unlikely" that the tubes could
have been used to produce nuclear material
（在星期六的國家廣播公司的「與媒體有約」節目上，副總統辯稱「我們相信
（海珊）已經，事實上，重建其核武。」但錢尼自相矛盾，他一個月前說「
海珊取得核武只是時間的問題。」兩種斷論都和原子能總署的署長巴拉岱早先
的說法矛盾，巴拉岱報告：「沒有重啟核能活動的證據。」
布希及其它官員辯稱伊拉克試圖購買高強度鋁管以用在濃縮鈾的離心機上，
巴拉岱的說法與說法矛盾。國際原子能總署判定伊拉克並未計畫將這些進口鋁管
用來濃縮鈾並生產核武。巴拉岱辯稱這些管子是用來製造傳統武器的，而且「極為
不可能」用來製造核能原料。）
Cheney on Sunday said ElBaradei was "wrong" about Iraq's nuclear program
and questioned the IAEA's credibility.
Earlier this month, ElBaradei said information about Iraqi efforts to buy
uranium were based on fabricated documents. Further investigation has
found that top CIA officials had significant doubts about the veracity of
the evidence, linking Iraq to efforts to purchase uranium for nuclear
weapons from Niger, but the information ended up as fact in Bush's State
of the Union address.
（星期六的錢尼說巴拉岱關於伊拉克的核武計畫的觀點「錯了」，並質疑國際
原子能總署的可信度。
本月初，巴拉岱說關於伊拉克試圖購買鈾的資訊，來自偽造的報導。進一步
調查後發現，對於伊拉克試圖從尼日買鈾用在核武上的證據，其精確度為
中情局高層官員所深深懷疑，但這項資訊以事實的身份出現在布希國情諮文裡。）
In another embarrassing episode for the administration, Secretary of
State Colin L. Powell cited evidence about Iraq's weapons efforts that
originally appeared in a British intelligence document. But it later
emerged that the British report's evidence was based in part on academic
papers and trade publications.
（行政部門還鬧過尷尬的笑話，國務卿包威爾引述某些伊拉克企圖獲得武器的
證據，這些證據原出自英國的情報文件。但在英國的報告裡提到的證據，有部分
稍後被證實來自學校裡的報告與貿易出版品。）
（中刪）
In his first major speech solely on the Iraqi threat, last October,
Bush said, "Iraq possesses ballistic missiles with a likely range of
hundreds of miles -- far enough to strike Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey
and other nations -- in a region where more than 135,000 American
civilians and service members live and work."
Inspectors have found that the Al Samoud-2 missiles can travel less
than 200 miles -- not far enough to hit the targets Bush named. Iraq
has not accounted for 14 medium-range Scud missiles from the 1991
Persian Gulf War, but the administration has not presented any evidence
that they still exist.
（去年十月，布希在首次單獨提及伊拉克威脅的重要談話裡，說道：「伊拉克擁有
射程可能高達幾百英里遠的彈道飛彈，遠道足以攻擊沙烏地阿拉伯，以色列，
土耳其與其它國家，有十三萬五千名美國公民與軍人在該區生活與工作。」
武檢人員已經發現了薩穆德二型飛彈連兩百英里都射不到（譯按：聯合國說法是
最大射程一百八十五「公理」），連布希所提的目標都射不到。從1991年波斯灣
戰爭後，伊拉克已經解釋了十四枚中程飛毛腿飛彈，但行政部門尚未提出任何
這些飛彈存在的證據。）

如果我是伊拉克人，我會根本不相信這種事：我的生死竟然是由
政客一堆自相矛盾的舌燦蓮花，大學院校裡的作業，以及抄襲和偽造
的文件所決定的。所謂筆比劍更有力量，此之謂也。
