MEMO TO COLIN POWELL
http://www.tnr.com/etc.mhtml
MEMO TO COLIN POWELL: You’d think that as distinguished an old soldier as Colin
Powell would know that when you find yourself in a hole, you stop digging. But
that’s the opposite of what the secretary of state was doing in Botswana
yesterday. Defending President Bush from charges that he misled the public by
asserting in his January State of the Union address that Iraq was trying to
procure uranium from Niger--a claim based on poor intelligence, including forged
documents, that some members of the administration knew to be faulty as early as
February 2002--Powell told reporters, “There was sufficient evidence floating
around at that time that such a statement was not totally outrageous.”
Isn’t that about the weakest thing you have ever heard? That’s practically an
admission that the White House will spin in a manner consistent -- not with the
truth -- but with whatever they think they can get away with!
I think Ross has already addressed this point, but I still find it interesting.
When does “gilding the lilly” become flat out lying?
