Kay resigns, WMD search over?

David Kay, the head of the WMD search team in Iraq, has reportedly resigned. This article from The Independent also discusses the declining importance of the WMD search to the White House, much to the detriment of Downing Street. I wonder whether the accusations that he was hiding WMDs will be brought up against Saddam Hussein when he goes on trial. Of course, there's already the older programs and the use of chemical weapons against Kurds and Iranians during the Iran-Iraq war, but it is a little ironic to think that the trial could cover neither his alleged participation in 9/11 nor any recent hiding of WMDs.
