They are admitting the lies right in front of our faces: Rumsfeld brushes aside WMD fears. This quote says it all:

"The coalition did not act in Iraq because we had discovered dramatic new evidence of Iraq's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction. We acted because we saw the evidence in a dramatic new light - through the prism of our experience on 9/11," he (Rumsfeld) said.

Remember, if you get in a tight spot say "9/11."


I like this editorial: True Lies.

This could be fun: 9-11 report, soon to be released, will be 'explosive' .

Do you remember the aluminum tubes? Focus turns to tubes sought by Saddam.

This NYT editorial from yesterday on the stonewalling of the independent commission brings up and interesting irony.

In a status report on its work, the commission said various agencies — particularly the Pentagon and the Justice Department — were blocking requests for vital information and resources. Acting more like the Soviet Kremlin than the American government, the administration has insisted that monitors from various agencies attend debriefings of key officials by investigators. Mr. Kean is quite correct in objecting to this as a thinly veiled attempt at intimidation. Meanwhile, the clock is running for the commission to complete a full report to the nation by next May.

Do you recall, before our invasion of Iraq, when the inspectors were still there and they would try to interview the scientists? We were always being told that we could not get the answers we wanted becuase the scientists always had a government official with them. I wonder if that same argument applies to this?
