We've defined chemical weapons as WMD period, one badly degraded shell dribbling HD out the side is just as much a WMD as a bunker full of VX ready to shoot. We found far more than a few leaky shells. Do you think that if a cop askes you if you have any weapons and you answer no, that he's going to excuse your for not telling him about the 22 cal single shot deringer in your pocket?

You do realise that not only did they actually find WMD like nitrogen mustard and sarin, but they covered it up so the public wouldn't freak out; Bush was less worried about public reaction to not finding WMD, than he was about the reaction to the causalties involved with finding the chemical agents. Seriously blaming "Gulf War Syndrome" on burning oil wells made as much sense as blaming every unexplained aerial phenomina on "swamp gas".

You do realize she'd set this server up in 2009 and left in Feb 2013? So she continued to use her own server her last five months, rather than do a disruptive move to the State server, when she already knew she was leaving in a few months.

So how disruptive would it have been to just set up the MX record to point to a professionally managed government owned mail server?

and I am not one who buys into the doom and gloom scenarios that the global warming crowd would like us to, but restricting people from learning about it does nothing.
  even if I am wrong, i would much rather an open debate over this.

Nothing is preventing anybody from learning about or debating about AGW, They just pressuring State employees to stop using terminology that is so politically charged as to be meaningless.
