The Senate Intelligence Committee Never Had the Facts
Here is another smoking gun that demonstrates that the Bush Administration lied and misleads both the public and the Congress. The Radical Right continually said that John Kerry had the same information that the Bush Administration had and voted to go into Iraq. But, now we know for certain that that was a lie. John Kerry did not have the same information that the White House had. In today’s National Journal Murray Waas writes,
“Vice President Cheney and his chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, overruling advice from some White House political staffers and lawyers, decided to withhold crucial documents from the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2004 when the panel was investigating the use of pre-war intelligence that erroneously concluded Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, according to Bush administration and congressional sources.”
This is exactly what we have been saying all along. Now, we have the Downing Street Memo, the forgery of the Niger documents and now this. And, the far right radicals still believe that the Iraq War was the Right War at the Right time. Apparently they see everything RIGHT even when it is WRONG.
Hopefully this will end soon with the expunging of the treasonous swine.

"The Radical Right continually said that John Kerry had the same information that the Bush Administration had and voted to go into Iraq."
If by "the same" you mean "all the same," then you are being absurd. It would be nonsensical for any Administration to share all of its intel with the Senate. It's hard enough to keep secrets undisclosed now -- how impossible it would have to be if you had to worry about 100 Senators and their staff!
Really, Forbush, you can do better than this.
