Report: Bush Determined to Go to War, Despite Evidence

How long was the Bush administration planning on war with Iraq, and how much did weapons of mass destruction matter?

Madeleine Brand speaks with British lawyer Phillipe Sands, who wrote about the memo in his book, Lawless World: America and the Making and Breaking of Global Rules from FDR's Atlantic Charter to George W. Bush's Illegal War.
