From the Phony War Files
Dear Congress, MSM, Blogosphere, and all Fellow Human Beings:
Please, please, please, please don’t let this story fade away until we know for sure whether it is true.
And if it is true, please, please, please, please don’t let them get away with it. They have already gotten away with so much. Surely this would have to be the final straw, no?
A new book by the author Ron Suskind claims that the White House ordered the CIA to forge a back-dated, handwritten letter from the head of Iraqi intelligence to Saddam Hussein.
Suskind writes in “The Way of the World,” to be published Tuesday, that the alleged forgery – adamantly denied by the White House – was designed to portray a false link between Hussein’s regime and al Qaeda as a justification for the Iraq war.
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.”
P.S. - as I am writing this post, the big headline on CNN.com is “‘Astonishing’ gorilla find reported.”
