Mushroom Cloud Evidence of Bush Lie to Take Us to War?

The New York Times reports that newly declassified portions of a Defense Intelligence Agency document found that it was probable that an Al Qaeda prisoner, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi “was intentionally misleading the debriefers" about support by Iraq for Al Qaeda. But that didn't stop Bush, Cheney and Powell from relying on al-Libi in making the claim of just such a connection.

Indeed, as to President Bush, there is this:

Among the first and most prominent assertions was one by Mr. Bush, who said in a major speech in Cincinnati in October 2002 that “we’ve learned that Iraq has trained Al Qaeda members in bomb making and poisons and gases."


When will Bush have to answer for all his administration's deceptions in taking us to war? The drum beat is getting louder.

UPDATE AT 11:26 PM: Atrios points out that the NYT forgot to mention that al-Libi apparently was tortured into his questionable statements.

    just bought gene stone's "The Bush Survival Bible"

    Bush ain't that bad. Stone lists people worse than Bush, including Tomas de Torquemade, Vlad Tepes, Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Joseph Stalin and Genghis Khan.

    Now, don't you feel better already?
