Ex-CIA Accuse Bush of Manipulating Iraq Evidence
Monday, March 17, 2003
WASHINGTON — Invoking the name of a Pentagon whistle-blower, a small group of retired, anti-war CIA officers are accusing the Bush administration of manipulating evidence against Iraq in order to push war while burying evidence that could show Iraq's compliance with U.N demands for disarmament.
The 25-member group, Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, composed mostly of former CIA analysts along with a few operational agents, is urging employees inside the intelligence agency to break the law and leak any information they have that could show the Bush administration is engineering the release of evidence to match its penchant for war...
What a coincidence, huh?
9/11 conspiracy theories
US Representative Cynthia McKinney led a Capitol Hill hearing on July 23, 2005 into “what warnings the Bush administration received before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.”
Panelist and former CIA official Melvin Goodman was quoted as saying “Congresswoman McKinney is viewed as a contrarian and I hope someday her views will be considered conventional wisdom.”
Many 9/11 researchers testified at the hearing, including Michael Ruppert, Peter Dale Scott, Wayne Madsen and several others.
That is to say, Goodman hopes it becomes conventional wisdom that Bush knew 9/11 was going to happen -- and he let it happen. Even encouraged it to happen.
These are the thoughts of Dana Priest's friends and colleagues. Her brethren.
