32 Down (!!!)

Really, New York Times Sunday Crossword Puzzle?

Down
32. Saddam reportedly hid them, briefly

Is apparently "WMDs."

Really?  I mean, yes, "reportedly", but...You know what?  I don't even want to try to finish that sentence.

(For non-puzzlers, the "briefly" means that the answer is an abbreviation).

  1. I thought the same thing... Added a jolt of high blood pressure to my relaxing Sunday pastime. Why not "allegedly"? Or "purportedly"?

  2. Also, shouldn't it be WsMD?

    I mean, this is the Times we're talking about. They like to be picky about such things.

    (I wonder if they also write "ATM machine")
