White House opposes move to declassify report on Iraq's WMDs

[RiverStone]

WASHINGTON - The White House is resisting a move by both Republicans and Democrats to fully declassify a Senate report on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.

Republicans say the public disclosure would help show that the CIA made honest mistakes in its 2002 assessment that Iraq owned stockpiles of WMDs, when in fact it no longer did.

But the White House believes the declassification would trigger another round of negative news media coverage and Democratic-led congressional hearings, said a Senate Republican, who asked to remain anonymous because of ongoing private discussions.

The dispute revolves around an obscure federal panel, the nine-member Public Interest Declassification Board.

4. so lying us into a war is a bad thing?

"But the White House believes the declassification would trigger another round of negative news
media coverage and Democratic-led congressional hearings, .... "

One more piece of evidence that this Juanta that took power after "The Coup of 2000" are
just plain thugs.

Notice how "they" put the spin on it about htis being a democratic problem w/ hearings &
the like. Just like Cheney went after Joe Wilson after he exposed the lies being sponsored
by the White House about Iraq getting a nuclear weapon and then passing it on to al-Qaeda.

6. Shrub and Shooter believe they are beyond the reach...

Of accountability to any person, legislative branch, court, or governing body.

They might as well live on Mars for they live in a world based on delusions and lies --- and refuse to be held to the light for anything they do. That is why impeachment should ALWAYS be on the table!
