Well, here's quite a "bomb" to drop in the news, invasions of Georgia notwithstanding. Apparently a new book out by Ron Suskind alleges that the CIA, under direction from the White House forged the letter that was used to link Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.

...and the laughs don't stop there! The administration also apparently suppressed information that they was very sure that there were no weapons of mass destruction. Our people were telling us this, their people were telling us this. It literally was only Bush and Cheney saying there were WMDs there. No damn wonder we didn't find any.

For those who want to dig further, there's also this Politico article with more details:

The magic words for Google at the moment are "Cheney" and "Habbush".

...and just to spell it out in boldface for those who haven't caught on yet, these things would be impeachment material if anyone in Congress had the balls to stand up and do something about it. Of course, that's not going to happen, because this is far from the first thing that's broken that could cause such a process to begin.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it... Impeachment is not a dirty word. It's not "bad for America" by any means. What's bad for America is sticking your head in the sand and pretending everything is okay in order to "present a strong face to the world". Personally, I would like for denial to go back to being a river in Egypt, as opposed to being America's 51st state.

...and now a followup URL filling in more details as the beans begin to spill...

"My source also notes that Dick Cheney, who was behind the forgery, hated and mistrusted the Agency and would not have used it for such a sensitive assignment. Instead, he went to Doug Feith’s Office of Special Plans and asked them to do the job."
