Had Bush decided by July 2002 to invade Iraq? Depends on which day of the week you read The New York Times

Readers of The New York Times learned on June 13 that in the summer of 2002, the Bush administration had not yet made the decision to invade Iraq, and recently released British documents don't prove they did. On June 14, Times readers learned that the documents may show that the decision to invade had been made by the summer of 2002, but it doesn't much matter because everyone in Washington knew that Bush had already made the decision to invade.
Confused? The Times seems to be.
