“In a field report submitted to Washington [on May 27, 2003], a secret DIA [Defense Intelligence Agency]-sponsored fact-finding mission, conducted by nine U.S. and British biological-weapons experts, concluded that ‘there was no connection to anything biological’ in two trailers captured by U.S. and Kurdish troops [in Iraq]. Three weeks later, the field report and a 122-page final report are stamped ‘secret’ and shelved.”
