Search for Iraq's WMDs Comes Up Empty

NPR's Alex Chadwick talks with Washington Post reporter Dafna Linzer about the end of the U.S.-led search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

The Bush administration used Saddam Hussein's development and possession of banned weapons as a primary excuse for invading.
