Larry C. Johnson | Cooking the Books and Politicizing Intelligence

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111505I.shtml

Larry C. Johnson writes that the Robb and Silbermann report clearly

demonstrates that none of the intelligence analysis from the CIA

suggested that Iraq's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction had

reached a critical point requiring a pre-emptive strike.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111505J.shtml

Some saw what they thought were attempts by the military to conceal

the use of incendiary shells. " The Americans were dropping some of the

bodies into the Euphrates near Fallujah, " said one ousted resident,

Abdul Razaq Ismail.... " In the centre of the Jolan quarter they were

removing entire homes which have been bombed. "

sense of urgency " in making non-proliferation, securing nuclear

material and preventing terrorists from acquiring WMD his top national

necessary resources for the effort.

 

Wall Street Journal Wants Fitzgerald's Documents

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111505L.shtml

New York Times | Decoding Mr. Bush's Denials

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111505M.shtml

The President and his top advisers may very well have sincerely

believed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. But they did not

allow the American people, or even Congress, to have the information

necessary to make reasoned judgments of their own.

 

US Troops Used Lions in Torture

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111505N.shtml

" They took us to a cage - an animal cage that had lions in it within

the Republican Palace, " he said. " And they threatened us that if we

did not confess, they would put us inside the cage with the lions in

it.... And they opened the door and they threatened that if I did not

confess, that they were going to throw me inside the cage. And as the

lion was coming closer, they would pull me back out and shut the door,

and tell me, 'We will give you one more chance to confess.' And I

would say, 'Confess to what?' "

 

No Right to Abortion, Alito Argued

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111505O.shtml

Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote that " the Constitution

does not protect a right to an abortion, " declared his firm opposition

to certain affirmative action programs, and strongly endorsed a

government role in " protecting traditional values. "

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111505P.shtml

The intelligence community's " failure to undertake a real review of

the documents - even though their validity was the subject of serious

doubts - was a major failure of the intelligence system, " the

presidentially appointed Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities

of the United States concluded last March.

 

Senate Republican Leaders Seeking Iraq Exit Strategy

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111505Z.shtml

In a sign of increasing unease among Congressional Republicans over

the war in Iraq, the Senate is to consider on Tuesday a Republican

proposal that calls for Iraqi forces to take the lead next year in

securing the nation and for the Bush administration to lay out its

strategy for ending the war.
