Question 9: Mr. Walter Jones (R-NC)

Summary: Many Americans are disappointed and frustrated that the justification for war, the idea that Saddam had WMD's and nuclear weapons, has turned out to be not true. I've taken it on myself to write letters to every American that has lost a loved one in this war. I share their frustration. I am incensed that your statement ( Mr. Perle's statement) could even be allowed to be printed. I wish somebody that would apologize for the misinformation that was given, even though we all make mistakes and it's difficult to get accurate intelligence.

I wish there was somebody large enough to say "We made a mistake. We're there now and we've got to finish the job", but I have not heard that yet.
