White House ‘lied about Saddam threat’
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Print/0,3858,4709366,00.html
A former US intelligence official who served under the Bush administration in
the build-up to the Iraq war accused the White House yesterday of lying about
the threat posed by Saddam Hussein.
The claims came as the Bush administration was fighting to shore up its
credibility among a series of anonymous government leaks over its distortion of
US intelligence to manufacture a case against Saddam.
This was the first time an administration official has put his name to specific
claims. The whistleblower, Gregory Thielmann, served as a director in the state
department’s bureau of intelligence until his retirement in September, and had
access to the classified reports which formed the basis for the US case against
Saddam, spelled out by President Bush and his aides.
Mr Thielmannn said yesterday: “I believe the Bush administration did not provide
an accurate picture to the American people of the military threat posed by
Iraq.”
My other question is this: why is this such big news everywhere else, but not in
the U.S.? Blair is in a world of **** back in his country, why is Shrub so
comfortable here?
Seriously, when are we going to wake up and smell the corruption?
