Folks, we got em.  By the balls.  We have, here and now, uncovered one of the great lies of the Bush administration.

Which lie am I speaking of?  The one I discussed in my last diary here.

As I stated there, the circumstantial evidence uncovered by Ron Suskind  in his book The One Percent Doctrine strongly suggests that George Tenet never said the case for Iraqi WMD was a "slam dunk," and that the Bush administration constructed that canard out of whole cloth, and fed it to their tool Bob Woodward ("let's give it to Mikey, he'll eat anything!") to publish to the world.  It was an extremely useful lie, since it supported the White House's bigger thematic lie - that the Iraqi WMD debacle was the fault of poor intelligence gathering by the CIA, as opposed to the White House's unrelenting pressure and a single minded willingness to slant the evidence.
