George Bush and Co. must be wondering whether there is some sort of conspiracy against them - given the almost daily revelations from somewhere on how the the US Administration misled [lied?] the American public, and the world, about WMD's in Iraq, the alleged threat of terrorism from Saddam Hussein, the "link" between Saddam and Bin Laden, etc. etc.
At long last the American press is beginning to shine a light under the bushel [no pun intended!].
Today's LA Times reveals in a report sourced from France that the French told the CIA many times in the year before George Bush kept on asserting otherwise, that there was no proof that Iraq had sought uranium from Niger. Read the article here.
Meanwhile read this fascinating analysis by Nir Rosen in The Atlantic Monthly on what is actually happening on the ground in Iraq, what would happen if America quite the country and how Iraqis see things. You might just want to send the article to John Howard who keeps banging on about not "cutting and running" from Iraq. Problem is, if Rosen is correct, the Iraqis want the US out.
