Why the fuck are Douglas Feith and the other zealots still out there making money and instead of serving prison terms?

We are pushing, and watching. The very least you and the rest of our Reps can do for those who have needlessly lost their lives, been injured or displaced by an unnecessary and immoral war is hold those responsible for creating and dessiminating false WMD intelligence ACCOUNTABLE.

How many people have needlessly died as a result: about 4,000 US troops and maybe a million Iraqis? The White House chose to use bogus intelligence, which they'd been repeatedly told was bogus at the time. And they relied heavily on the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans, Chalabi and Curveball to create that bogus intelligence. Any intelligence the CIA had to the contrary was repeatedly denied, such as the Niger uranium story and the fact that Curveball was a "fabricator". For example: No matter how many times the CIA tried to have the Niger claims removed from White House speeches, they'd pop up again. Because the White House was determined to go to war on the flimsiest excuse, even if they had to invent them out of whole cloth. They're attempting the same thing with Iran. The people who are allowing this to happen, by way of protecting the criminality of this White House, are criminals themselves. Thank god for the bravery of Marcinkowski, Larry and others who won't be intimidated! Bless them!

If there are people with clout inside the beltway sympathetic to Valerie's plight, maybe they can also help push to get to the bottom of it. Eventually it will come out, but it would be more helpful to America if it came out now, not as a paragraph in the political history textbooks in the year 2075.

I think it would have been fasinating to get at least a general historical perspective.

I suggest water boarding, after all it's just like doing the backstroke.. :) I hate this stuff.

They prefer to keep the Eloi docile, they don't want anyone to ask embarrasing questions or point out inconsistencies between word and deed. For the most part, the Eloi seem pretty happy about this arrangement, too, as we keep re-electing them.
