From an earlier draft:
"A few people in this country were perceptive enough to see the WMD threat for what it was: a lie and an excuse for war. We called them cranks, traitors even, and we owe them an apology. Deep inside, we suspected, but couldn't admit, that the only reason for this awful, stinking war was "Saddam tried to kill my Dad." Regrettably we lacked the courage to say what we were thinking."
