Prez Iraq team fought to squelch war critics

WASHINGTON - It was called the White House Iraq Group and its job was to make the case that Saddam Hussein had nuclear and biochemical weapons. ...."There were a number of occasions when White House officials or Vice President staffers, or others, wanted to push the envelope on things," an ex-intelligence official said. "The agency would say, 'We just don't have the intelligence to substantiate that.'" When Wilson was sent by his wife to Africa to research the claims, he showed the documents claiming Saddam tried to buy the uranium were forgeries.

"People in the Iraq group then got very frustrated. It was a side show," said a source familiar with WHIG.

Besides Rove and Libby, the group included senior White House aides Karen Hughes, Mary Matalin, James Wilkinson, Nicholas Calio, Condoleezza Rice and Stephen Hadley. WHIG also was doing more than just public relations, said a second former intel officer.

"They were funneling information to Judy Miller. Judy was a charter member," the source said.


Merry Fitzmas, one and all!

I know when we talked last week that I said this Wednesday would be the day, but I think next week will be the week. :laugh:

Sometimes those psychic abilities are very non-specific! It could be this Wed, then again it could be next Wed, or the one after... :)

How about this: it will occur on a weekday within the next month. :laugh:

It just reminded me of Medium, "the plane will crash on May 16, it could have been in the past, it could be this year, could be next year...". Something like that. :laugh:

I will begin to gather party supplies for the street revelry that is sure to ensue. :lol:
