Honors Thesis on Bush Administration's Rationale for War

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign New Bureau wrote a story on Largio's honors thesis on 5/10/04, and provided a link to the thesis in its entirety. If you aren't already dyspeptic, read at least the abstract and executive summary.
