22日付けのロイターの報道によると、オーストラリアの元情報トップの話で、イラクのWMD開発能力については、情報当局の情報処理能力に問題があり、「不明瞭で根拠が希薄、かつ不完全な情報」を元に判断していたことを認めたそうです。
また、アルカイダと深い関連のあるJIによるバリでの爆破テロについても、テロリストたちの「能力とその計画」を把握できていなかったことが、テロを阻止できなかった理由だとしています。
オーストラリアは、アメリカの主張するWMD脅威論に同調した同盟国の1つです。
ただ不思議なことに、オーストラリア人の民間人、兵士ともに、これまでイラクでの拉致事件に関わったニュースを見た気がしません。。。なぜでしょうか。オーストラリア陣地で自爆テロが起きたという話もありませんでしたよね。この記事によると2,000人もの兵士を送り込んでいるアメリカの強力な同盟国の1つなのに、なぜ「オーストラリア」という国名があまりニュースに出てこないのか、ターゲットにされていないのか、不思議でなりません。よほど現地での立ち回りが巧妙なんでしょうか・・・。

Report: Australian Intelligence Failed Over Iraq
CANBERRA, Australia (Reuters) - Australian intelligence relied on thin and ambiguous information for its assessment of the threat of weapons of mass destruction in pre-war Iraq , an independent report found Thursday.
"There has been a failure of intelligence on Iraq WMD. Intelligence was thin, ambiguous and incomplete," former intelligence chief Philip Flood said in a report which mirrors similar intelligence inquiries in the United States and Britain.
The report also found that Australian intelligence agencies should have known more about the "terrorist capabilities and intentions" of Asian Islamic militant group Jemaah Islamiah (JI) prior to the 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people, 88 of them Australian.
The al-Qaeda-linked JI has been held responsible for the Bali nightclub bombings.
"The inquiry has seen nothing to indicate that any Australian agency ... had any specific intelligence warning of the attack in Bali," Flood said in his report.
"The failure to appreciate the serious nature of the threat posed by JI was widespread outside Australia's intelligence agencies and in Indonesia itself," he said.
Prime Minister John Howard, a staunch U.S. ally, sent around 2,000 military personnel to the U.S.-led war in Iraq, citing at the time the need to prevent Iraq's weapons of mass destruction falling into the hands of terror groups.
Howard has since said the Iraq war was justified despite the failure to find WMD, arguing the Iraqi people were better off after the removal of Saddam Hussein.
