Fitzgerald Investigation of Leak of Identity of CIA Agent

Quote:

He concluded that there was no credible evidence to support the claim that Iraq had purchased uranium yellowcake from Niger

And where or when did the admin ever make that claim?

This is what Bush said...

Quote:

"The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa

Nobody ever claimed that Iraq actually bought yellow cake, only that they wanted to.

There is a big difference between the two statements.

But the White House knew, when Bush made the speech, conclusively that Saddam had not recently sought yellow cake. That makes Bush's statement a lie, and the White House has admitted this. But I guess to a literalist Bush was right on the mark.

House panel votes to cite Rove with contempt

36 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - The House Judiciary Committee has voted to hold former White House strategist Karl Rove in contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena to testify.


Voting along party lines Wednesday, the committee said Rove broke the law by failing to appear at a July 10 hearing on allegations of White House influence over the Justice Department, including whether Rove encouraged prosecutions against Democrats.

The committee decision is only a recommendation, and it was unclear whether Speaker Nancy Pelosi would allow a final vote.

Rove has denied any involvement with Justice Department decisions, and the White House has said Congress has no authority to compel testimony from current and former advisers.

Let me make this simple for you.

That statement is 100% true, because they didnt buy any.

Now, the Bush admin, working with the info given to them by British intelligence, made this claim...

Now, according to factcheck.org Bush may have been wrong, but he wasnt lying.

But, for you and others to claim that Bush said Iraq actually bought yellow cake is a lie, because the Bush admin NEVER said that.

You have distorted and twisted what was said to fit your own hate for Bush.
Why is that so hard for you to admit.

Sounds like a way to sell books. You guys run along and buy a couple copies and be sure to wear a drool bib as you read it.

In an explosive new claim, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Ron Suskind details how the White House directed the CIA to forge and leak a letter to help buttress its case for invading Iraq. .....

The CIA officers have a major problem in contradicting Suskind. The latter has statements on tape contradicting the denials. In any event, I hope, we will soon have testimony made under oath.
