NEW GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT

Samford University’s Government Documents has just received the “Comprehensive Report of the Special Advisor to the DCI on Iraq’s WMD, Vol. 1, 2, 3, Duelfer Report (Key Findings)”. Yes, it does sound a bit dull, but don’t judge the document by its title. This report is a really cool time-line of key developments of Iraq’s WMDs starting with the Iraq-Iran War and ending in 2003. So, come by GovDocs to examine the time line for yourself!
