USA Today Interview with VP Cheney

"My hunch on WMD, I think the jury is still out. I think the National Intelligence Estimate was based upon on years of reporting. It was pretty consistent with what the Clinton administration had."

"We know he did, in fact, have it in the past because he used it. And I think that we've got a lot of people over there now trying to find what happened to it. I think we need to think in terms of capabilities, the capacity, for example, on short notice to produce biological weapons. The stuff is perishable and doesn't last very long anyway. And as I say, the jury is still out."
