Justice for All


Friends,
Bush's Watergate? Bring the guilty to justice. Impeach Bush.
The United States is so glad to be ridding itself of this criminal, that to once again have to listen to witnesses say, "I don't remember that." and, my favorite, "It is covered under Executive Privilege; so, if I told you, the terrorists would win," one more time would be "torture".

Peace and Love,
Rev O

Whispers of a Watergate for Bush Financial Times of London
"The response in the US to startling new allegations that the White House directed the forgery of evidence to support its case for the war in Iraq has been surprisingly muted so far. The charges may be false, of course, but if they are seriously examined and turn out to be true, this is – or ought to be – a Watergate-sized scandal."

"Ron Suskind is a heavyweight: a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and the author of a well-regarded book on the administration’s security policies, The One Per Cent Doctrine. His new book, The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism, which was published last week, contains the extraordinary new charge. It says that late in 2003 the White House ordered the Central Intelligence Agency to forge a memo dated July 2001 from Tahir Jalil Habbush, Saddam Hussein’s intelligence chief, to Saddam himself, affirming that Mohammed Atta, the September 11 2001 bomber, had contacts with the regime and that Iraq had an ongoing weapons of mass destruction programme."

"In an interview, Condoleezza Rice, secretary of state, twice seemed to correct herself, saying that the White House could not have been involved after first referring to “the government” or “the United States”. And it was perhaps less than reassuring to hear her say this: “Look, the United States . . . the White House was not going to ask somebody to forge a letter on something of this importance. On matters of less importance, it seems, greater vigilance might be warranted."

"To those who see this administration as misguided and incompetent, but who retain a residue of belief in its integrity and good faith, this charge is grave and shocking. Despite the distractions of the presidential campaigns and the pressures of being on vacation, Congress ought to look into it urgently, with witnesses on oath."


"Oh, please. Did I mention, by the way, that the White House told the CIA to manufacture evidence on Iraq and lie to the country about a war that cost many thousands of lives?"
