College Park, MD: Even after the final report of Charles Duelfer to Congress saying that Iraq did not have a significant WMD program, 72% of Bush supporters continue to believe that Iraq had actual WMD (47%) or a major program for developing them (25%). Fifty-six percent assume that most experts believe Iraq had actual WMD and 57% also assume, incorrectly, that Duelfer concluded Iraq had at least a major WMD program

Frightening thought.... and sad.
I suspect people believe what they want to believe and that this is often "fogged up" in the US by some party political crap and whether you support some party or not.
Looks like there is nada balance on any reality and a great ease with the use of labels for almost any subject, conservative, insurgent, coalition, liberal, terrorist blah. Shit for simple minds and makes it easy to create an "us" and "them" :-)
Hence.. loads of "sworn enemies" :-)
