Floodgates: Book Claims Bush Administration Directed CIA Forgery
by Adam Selene on August 5, 2008
In a new article out Tuesday, August 5th, Politico.com‘s Mike Allen discusses a new book out by Ron Suskin titled, “The Way of the World”. Suskin claims that the Bush administration directed the CIA to forge a letter connecting al Qaeda and Iraq in the run-up to the war.
From the t r u t h o u t | Book Says White House Ordered Iraq-WMD Forgery reprint of the Politico.com story…
The author also claims that the Bush administration had information from a top Iraqi intelligence official “that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq – intelligence they received in plenty of time to stop an invasion.”
The letter’s existence has been reported before, and it had been written about as if it were genuine. It was passed in Baghdad to a reporter for The (London) Sunday Telegraph who wrote about it on the front page of Dec. 14, 2003, under the headline, “Terrorist behind September 11 strike ‘was trained by Saddam.’”
The neither the claim nor the article are especially noteworthy except what they may reveal of the bigger picture. Fast on the heels of turncoat Scott McClellan, Suskin is helping to further expose the illegal, unconstitutional and immoral activities of the Bush administration. I think they are some of the first that will quickly become a flood of people trying to distance themselves and those that are no longer burdened by the tyranny of Chenney, Bush and their henchmen.
I, for one, am looking forward to the opening of the floodgates.
The coming flood will wash away that smirk.
Update
Looks like The Progress Report is beating the drum now, too. As to be expected, they are much more on point.
[Suskind] said that many of his sources “felt that at the end of this Bush era it is imperative to be truthful about this issue — going to war under false pretenses so that we settle accounts and people understand what occurred and what the truth is. So we can get past this as a country.”
The gates are definitely opening…
