This story is news?

Colin Powell says that it's unlikely we'll find stockpiles of WMD in Iraq. This story has created several headlines around the net news serices today. I say, so what? This is news? I'm not sure anyone is expecting we're going to stumble onto some pile of WMD in Iraq at this late date. I've been much more convinced that what WMD Saddam had were transported to Syria's Bekka Valley. The Federalist (no link, but here's one at Free Republic) made a convincing case for this during the height of the news media's tizzy over WMD. It ain't news, but it can be used to chip away support for Bush, which is the MO of many news organizations right now.
