@WesleyLowery (a hypothetical meeting!) where they argued about whether to publish a Blix op-ed saying *there are no WMDs!* and someone saying, *Hussein is a tyrant who enslaves his people, we have actual Iraqi sources who tell us different, imagine the stakes if we publish this & he's wrong* — PolitiTweet.org

@WesleyLowery I think we disagree about that oped in some ways, but for purposes here, I think of old Hans Blix circa 2002, insisting again and again that Sadaam Hussein didn't have WMDs, back when most people, including at the NYT, were very confident that he did.

@WesleyLowery *We could air the other side just to seem objective... but almost every intelligence agency in the world agrees* W/ that, I need to go eat, so take the last word if you want it, nice going back and forth, as ever, and my apologies if my first reply to you was too reductive — PolitiTweet.org
