NEWS WITH OOZE tm plus The DC Survival Guide: "How to Tell the "Truth" about Small Things to Hide The Big Truth. At least for awhile. Until people catch on. Maybe after the next election.ALAS, POOR HADLEY I hardly knew him. London Times reports Stephen Hadley Woodward source on Valerie Plame. Maybe this explains how "normally mild mannered" Hadley was so excitable about accusations the President lied about pre war intelligence nine days ago.
THE SAME OLD same old. Hadley denies meeting with Woodward on dates in question.IS IT TOO SOON to say conspiracy?
THE HERETIK BELIEVES this is a con, con, con . . . a conspiracy of a confederacy of dunces. That Airforce One ride in Egypt looks like a place where more plans took flight.

Shakespeare's Sister: At some point, are they all going to drop the pretense and just say that the White House’s official position is Nobuddy did nuttin’! unless and until somebody gets caught?PLUS: Woodward, the high priest of the objectionable.
FIVE FOR FIVE Via e mail from The Faithful Progressive: The LA Times has a story that proves what a majority of Americans already know: that in its rush to war, the Bush Administration intentionally distorted intelligence about the threat posed by Iraq. No less than 5 (FIVE!) senior officials from the German Federal Intelligence Service (the BND) told the LA Times that they had warned the US that the Iraqi defector known as Curveball overstated claims about germ warfare.
SO CURVEBALL WAS LOW and in the dirt. Everybody knew it, everybody said it. But Bush told it like truth. Oy. Maha says duh and offers a related link from Bob Graham: What I Knew Before the Invasion.
SHAKE AND BAKE UPDATE The Telegraph on Brit use of WP, Willy Pete, white phosphorus. More from the Heretik previously here. And more later.
THIS DATE IN HISTORY The Nuremburg Trials began in 1945. We will hear how these times are different. We will hear of the ticking bomb. Today more than ever Imagine via Body and Soul: Imagine, if you will, that you are an Iraqi. You have a captured American pilot. You know that American jets will be bombing your city later this afternoon. If you could only find out what their targets are you could move the women and children – maybe even the old and the sick – out of harm’s way. You might be able to save hundreds, perhaps thousands if you only knew where the bombs would strike. Your children are in the city. Your grandparents. Your cousins. The girl you loved when you were twelve years old, who married someone else and is now the mother of two lovely twins.
You could save them, if only you could get that American pilot to talk.IT IS SO EASY to justify what we do from our view. How much different would it be if we remembered the Iraqi with cousins is our brother too?
