This shaped the atmosphere of a prosecution already seen by some as a politically biased, anti-war fueled witchunt from the start.

It is generally agreed that this is indeed the underlying cause of this whole mess, and that Wilson did in fact try to submit evidence that may have undermined the Data used to compel us into war. Unfortunately, the information he tried to bring to light was ignored (though proven correct in hindsight), and his failure led to invasion and much death, as well as major damage to our standing in the world stage. One can only imagine where we would be right now had his attempt to question the Administrations' assertions been successful, but things would definately be different. Regardless, it is now clear to anyone willing to look with an open mind that he (and his wife) were targeted by the Administration, and the trail leads to the highest levels. If the Right is willing to look the other way when these things take place.....I would highly recommend they re-evaluate what is happening to this country, or simply admit they support the removal of constitutional law, in favor of something a bit more Fascist in practice.

As far as geting back into the discussions, I haven't had anything constructive to say in threads such as "Ok....Can Anyone Tell Me Why Congress Does Not Impeach Bush Now?" or "Iraq was not invaded for oil" or "Does Bush really say what he means and do what he says - part II" or "Who is worse; George Bush or Hugo Chavez?" or "Support Our Troops: Stop Bush" which seem to be the norm here now. |
In other words you have no way of countering the enormous amount of information pointing to behavior that is Irresponsible and incompetent at best, and Illegal or subversive at worst? |
