More deceit in Pres. Bush's SOTU address:

Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production.

the truth:

The IAEA had investigated Iraqi attempts to buy high-quality aluminium tubes. No evidence had been found that the Iraqis had tried to use these for other purposes than the stated one - for engineering rockets. The process was "well documented".

The IAEA has concluded that the efforts to buy aluminium tubes were not likely to be related to attempts to manufacture gas centrifuges for enriching uranium. But it will continue investigate the issue.

Listen to what some former intelligence analysts are saying:

McGovern is a member of the "steering group" of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, a group of retired spooks, some highly decorated, which has been speaking out for several months about a dangerous fundamental breakdown in the U.S. intelligence system"

its latest letter to President Bush on Monday denounced the administration's "campaign of deceit" in driving the nation to war

Salon article

And then there's Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld who has given at least three versions about when he first learned that the Niger uranium documents were false, or National Security Advisor Rice, who claimed ignorance about the bogus documents, falsly stating that:

We did not know at the time -- no one knew at the time, in our circles -- maybe someone knew down in the bowels of the agency, but no one in our circles knew that there were doubts and suspicions that this might be a forgery. Of course, it was information that was mistaken.

Rep. Waxman's letter to C. Rice

Finally, for those of you still insisting that Pres. Bush was not deceitful in his 2003 State of the Union address, please read Waxman's letter in its entirety.

There's no other way to put it than "a campaign of deceit"
