Ok, this goes beyond mere exaggeration, beyond intentional ignorance, beyond selective intelligence. If journalist and author Ron Suskind has got the right stuff, his book out this week will show that the White House (read: Darth Cheney because the conspirators were very careful to maintain deniability for the Charlatan) deliberately falsified evidence of a connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11 kamikazes. Not that this will make a difference to the narcissistic politicos on Capitol Hill because it's too close to the presidential election. But at least the historical record will be set straight. The forged letter in question is somewhat cumulative in my opinion. This commentator thinks that the much more central Niger forgery {2/11/08, 2/14/08} was a product of a collaboration between Italian fascist elements in the Italian secret service and neconservative conspirators in the US government.[photo: a king vulture mugs for the camera (AP)]
