ABC News reports today on Diane Sawyer’s recent interview with former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Rumsfeld claims:

Powell — along with other top Bush administration officials and advisers — truly believed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction at the time of his famous presentation to the United Nations in February 2003.

The truth, however, is that everyone knew that Iraq didn’t have WMDs.
ABC also notes:

Asked if he turned the conversation inside the administration to Iraq in the wake of 9/11, Rumsfeld said “absolutely not.”

, the reality is that Rumsfeld tried to use the 9/11 attacks as an excuse to attack Iraq:

5 hours after the 9/11 attacks, Donald Rumsfeld said “my interest is to hit Saddam”.
He also said “Go massive . . . Sweep it all up. Things related and not.”
