Ron Suskind has a new book coming out called: “The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism”

It has some explosive information about the White House’s plan to forge documents to persuade the American public that we should attack Iraq. This is incredible stuff. Suskind appeared on the TODAY show and gave his first interview about it…He says it’s “one of the great lies in modern political history.”

George “Slam dunk” Tenet denied the report, but there’s this Sunday Telegraph article that describes what happened. Worse than Watergate.

I’ve used notes from CBS’s Dan Raviv to highlight the action:

His new book THE WAY OF THE WORLD is about the war on terrorism and the Bush Administration since 9/11 and especially since invading Iraq in March ‘03. (You can easily Google details of the alleged letter from “Habbush” to Saddam Hussein dated July 1, 2001, which says (future) 9/11 hijacker was trained in Baghdad, AND that Iraq received shipments from Niger.) <..>

The book reports (or charges) that the Bush White House faked a letter from Saddam Hussein’s intelligence chief to President Saddam in late 2003, backdating it to July 2001 and reports that Saddam’s intelligence chief (Habbush) was in the protective custody of the C.I.A. at the time– even while the U.S. military had him in the “deck of cards,” a list of Saddam officials wanted dead-or-alive. The White House ordered the C.I.A. to arrange for Habbush to write the fake letter in his own handwriting. The controversial letter did find itself to the world media in December ‘03.

Habbush was in the deck of cards — the (approx. 50) Saddam officials wanted dead-or-alive by the U.S. after the March 2003 invasion — while in reality he was in C.I.A. protection. And in October 2003, Habbush was paid $5 million by the C.I.A. AFTER the C.I.A. asked Habbush to write — in his own handwriting and in a convincing way — the note that the White House suggested.

Britain’s Sunday Telegraph in December ‘03 caused a sensation by reporting the discovery in Baghdad of that letter… and a few days later NEWSWEEK reported strong doubts that the letter was genuine. Among other things, experts wondered, why would Saddam’s intel chief write about both Atta & nuclear material in the same letter?

When you're gutter-predzidenting, then gutter journalism is exactly what's called for.
I love this Nixon Doctrine of the last eight years - IF THE PRESIDENT DOES IT, IT'S NOT ILLEGAL.

Boy, that sure gives me a lot more respect for the byzantine maze of laws us average folk have to navigate every day of our lives.
