1. Good article! Thanks! SA tapped out of oil, eh?

Glad to know Kwiatkowski and many more American patriots will be asking the difficult questions. Now, when does "Executive Privilege" expire for Tenet? His testimony would be most valuable in any trial of the Neo-Cons.

It’s All About Style!

by Karen Kwiatkowski

When former Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet and acting Chair of the National Intelligence Council Stu Cohen were asked who inserted certain phrases in the unclassified National Intelligence Estimate that did not exist in the classified NIE, they said they "…did not know and could not explain ."

Far be it from me to call great public servants like Tenet and Cohen liars. Perhaps they are just being kind. Perhaps instead they should have been asked who they suspected, and what they assessed, and although they didn’t know for sure, what their gut told them about who added and deleted certain phrases.

Phrases that made all the difference in what the American people believed about the danger posed by Saddam Hussein. Phrases that drip to this day with the blood of American soldiers and marines who have died in Iraq without reason or rationale.

SNIP...

Bush and Cheney wanted to be in Iraq, to control its government, and to have permanent military bases just in case Saudi oil really is tapped out, and Iraq is not the number two like we all thought, but the number one draft pick. They wanted it in order to ensure that our best socialist Cold War ally can continue to build its wall and nurture its nukes and conduct its business unfettered by the concerns of its Middle Eastern neighbors.
