Yes, sir, but it is even more deeply irresponsible to rewrite history of how history was rewritten in the first place.

We can endlessly debate the facts. More important, though, is the mind-set of those in the administration from the president on down, who had these facts- or, as we shall see, none at all- and mangled them in the cause of the war.

For example, the insistence that Saddam was somehow linked to 9/11 tells you that to bush and his people, the facts did not matter. It did not matter that Mohamed Atta never met with Iraqis in Prague. It did not matter that Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the international Atomic Energy Agency, was finding no evidence of an Iraqi nuclear weapons programs. None of that mattered to Vice-President Cheney, a fibber without peer in the realm, who warn of a reconstituted nuclear weapons program, promoted the non existent Prague meeting and went after legitimate critics. "We will not hesitate to discredit you." Cheney told ElBaradei and Hans Blix.

At the moment, no one can have confidence in the Bush Administration. Almost three years into the war, the world is not safer, the middle east is less stable and the Americans and others die for a mission that is not what it once was called: A fight for democracy. It would be nice, as well as important, to know how we got into this mess. It wasnt that he had the wrong facts. It was that the right ones didnt matter.
