Help me write a LTTE.

[DrWeird]

I've got 90% of it worked out but I'm looking for one or two sentences to unequivocally show that Bush knew he was lying about the WMDs.

I think it was either the FBI or the CIA that warned the WH about the yellowcake memos before the SotU speech, but am unsure which and would like to be factually solid.

On edit: Happy now, mein Herr?

1. Yeah!!!

Not to be a spelling nazi but when you submit an LTTE it always helps to spell correctly..If I catch you here, you probably will not make the same mistake when you send in the LTTE.

2. Spell-checker wouldn't have caught that...

4. CIA

White House 'warned over Iraq claim'


Soldiers are yet to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq
The CIA warned the US Government that claims about Iraq's nuclear ambitions were not true months before President Bush used them to make his case for war, the BBC has learned.
Doubts about a claim that Iraq had tried to buy uranium from the African state of Niger were aired 10 months before Mr Bush included the allegation in his key State of the Union address this year, a CIA official has told the BBC.

On Tuesday, the White House for the first time officially acknowledged that the Niger claim was wrong and suggested it should not have been used in the president's State of the Union speech in January.

5. It was the CIA who debunked the yellowcake story.

I think the White House later claimed that Bush never read the memo questioning the legitimacy of the yellowcake claim. This was the excuse for including it in the SOTU address.

6. There is no evidence

that Bush was informed. The CIA did inform Cheney. They had also notified the White House to remove the "16 words" from an earlier speech. They did, but the 16 words were put back in to the State of the Union address.
