When it was exposed as (clumsy) forgery, it seemed to me that the administration should have said something like "Well we had this intellegence that indicated it was legitimate, blah blah blah." It seemed wierd to me that they just stopped talking about it.

Now it seems that the reason they didn't try to justify their previous belief in the intell... was because they knew it was bogus all along. It was such a great story, they couldn't resist telling it!

It's frightening that the true believers around here don't mind being lied to by their leadership. As long as the lies promote policy that they agree with, all is permitted.
