WMD Report Inconclusive
According to this story it looks like the report by the Iraq Survey Group is inconclusive.
David Kay, a former U.N. weapons inspector and now head of the Iraq Survey Group, has presented a "progress report" to CIA Director George Tenet, which does not reach any firm conclusions about the status of Iraq's WMD program, U.S. officials told Fox News on Wednesday.Posted by Steve at September 25, 2003 10:02 AM

Which means it will be trumpeted as "See?!? Saddam had no WMD!"
Absence of evidence, as usual, will be interpreted as, and conflated with, evidence of absence.

Posted by: Robin Roberts on September 25, 2003 03:15 PMWhat's being already buried here is that Kay apparently has evidence of a massive campaign to deceive weapons inspectors... such behavior was reason alone to go to war, because it was a clear violation of the Gulf War cease-fire.
