An update on Khidhir Hamza.

A reader who is close to Hamza writes in to suggest that Hamza’s lack of visibility of late <$Ad$>is due to concerns for his security rather any effort to duck questions from the media.

This seems reasonable to me. Clearly, all Iraqis who are working with the Americans are under threat. And I imagine that the threat is all the more severe for someone so prominently connected with the push for regime change.

So, point taken.

However, that doesn’t change the very real need for some explanation from Hamza for why his pre-war claims about Iraq’s nuclear program are so difficult to reconcile with the evidence we’ve found (or rather not found) on the ground in Iraq since April.
