The U.S. Department of State's Richard Boucher is in the Twin Cities speaking about Iraq, terrorism, and foreign policy. The State Department spokesman led a town hall meeting in St. Paul yesterday. He told the audience that the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq does not mean they won't be found eventually or that the original invasion decision was wrong. Several of Boucher's comments provoked some heckling from the audience. I spoke with Boucher this afternoon about the U-S approach to Iraq. He said the Bush administration is accelerating the process of turning authority over to a new Iraqi government.
