aceventura3, Mojo_PeiPei, and Ustwo, et al, should consider themselves very fortunate that <b>their position that Bush is not a war criminal</b> , requires no arguments that are anchored by facts, because, if Murray Waas has reported reliably, the October 3, 2004 NY Times reporting linked below, meshes so well with Waas's new disclosures, if we lived in a <b>republic with functioning representative government</b>, Bush would be facing an impeachment trial in the senate....in a heartbeat:

<b>Murray Waas, who has broken several key stories recently related to the Plame/CIA leak case for the nonpartisan National Journal, returned Thursday on the magazine's Web site with a detailed acount of two highly classified intelligence reports that were delivered directly to President Bush before the Iraq war......</b>

Two highly classified intelligence reports delivered directly to President Bush before the Iraq war cast doubt on key public assertions made by the president, Vice President Cheney, and other administration officials as justifications for invading Iraq and toppling Saddam Hussein, according to records and knowledgeable sources.

The first report, delivered to Bush in early October 2002, was a one-page summary of a National Intelligence Estimate that discussed whether Saddam's procurement of high-strength aluminum tubes was for the purpose of developing a nuclear weapon.

Among other things, the report stated that the Energy Department and the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research believed that the tubes were "intended for conventional weapons," a view disagreeing with that of other intelligence agencies, including the CIA, which believed that the tubes were intended for a nuclear bomb.

<b>The disclosure that Bush was informed of the DOE and State dissents is the first evidence that the president himself knew of the sharp debate within the government over the aluminum tubes during the time that he, Cheney, and other members of the Cabinet were citing the tubes as clear evidence of an Iraqi nuclear program.
