Prior to the Bush administration's pre-emptive, mostly uni-lateral invasion of Iraq, there were some serious investigative media reports about the Bushies fine tuning the intelligence they were getting about Iraq to support their rush to invasion. the best article was by Seymour Hersch in "The New Yorker" a couple of months before the war. Mr. Hersch is a pretty credible source having been the one to discover the slaughter of Vietnamese women and children led by a Lt. Calley in Mai Lai during the Vietnam War. He's a Pulitzer prize winning journalist and investigative reporter.
However his warnings about the neocons " stovepiping" the intelligence reports (only sending to the media and the President, the intelligence that supported the rush to war and disregarding the facts that didn't support the invasion) got easily buried in the Republican propaganda machine in full voice including Judith Miller and even the New York Times leading the pack.
So now two years into this bungled war, over 2,000 Americans dead, and billions of tax dollars squandered, some Democratic Rip Van Winkle congress people have awakened to the facts screamed at them by Scooter Libby's indictment, that the Bushies doctored the intelligence reports on Iraq and went after anybody that didn't support their position.
When the history of the Bush Presidency is written, unless the Republicans take over the Universities, it will surely state this was the most corrupt and dishonest Presidency ever, and hopefully it will include the mainstream media's, and the opposition party's leaderless complicity in this blatent abuse of political power.
