over and over and over again we're presented with evidence

the bushwhacked administration lied to us. plame was fried because wilson told the TRUTH. the good ol' white boy network's pockets are being lined with money procured with the blood of our men and women fighting an unjust war in iraq. YET, the congress does nothing, the senate does nothing for the most part. how many people are standing behind senator feingold? NOT my senators or congressman that's for sure. speaking of which, i received an email from senator dodd yesterday (mass emailing, i wasn't special). in it he listed some of the things he has done regarding the budget and soldiers. all of which were good BUT here is the email i sent back to him:

First of all, I had more than one topic, but I selected Iraq.

While I appreciate and agree with your positions on the budget AND
national security AND our soldiers, sailors, airmen (and anyone I missed) not
having the proper equipment while deployed in Iraq AND how our service members
are treated when (and if) they return home.........

I am concerned
about you not standing up to censure President Bush (and of course supporting
the position of Senator Feingold). He LIED to get us into the war, he continues
to lie about almost EVERYTHING AND he is spying on his OWN citizens WITHOUT
obtaining proper warrants.

I am also taken aback that you are
supporting Joe Lieberman.

short and sweet. i just had to let senator dodd (once again) know how i feel. oh yes, and forgive me for using caps and calling bushwhacked 'president bush'. i figure you can catch more flies with honey.......

now for this article i originally wanted to post, but got very sidetracked

PREWAR INTELLIGENCE Insulating Bush

By Murray Waas, National Journal© National Journal Group Inc. Thursday, March 30, 2006
Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political adviser, cautioned other White House aides in the summer of 2003 that Bush's 2004 re-election prospects would be severely damaged if it was publicly disclosed that he had been personally warned that a key rationale for going to war had been challenged within the administration. Rove expressed his concerns shortly after an informal review of classified government records by then-Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley determined that Bush had been specifically advised that claims he later made in his 2003 State of the Union address -- that Iraq was procuring high-strength aluminum tubes to build a nuclear weapon -- might not be true, according to government records and interviews.

Hadley was particularly concerned that the public might learn of a classified one-page summary of a National Intelligence Estimate, specifically written for Bush in October 2002. The summary said that although "most agencies judge" that the aluminum tubes were "related to a uranium enrichment effort," the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research and the Energy Department's intelligence branch "believe that the tubes more likely are intended for conventional weapons."
Three months after receiving that assessment, the president stated without qualification in his January 28, 2003, State of the Union address: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production." ...........
