Robert Scheer's weekly column always makes me mad:
According to an Associated Press report Sunday, "Expected intelligence from senior captured Iraqis who might have been most knowledgeable about the government's secrets is not materializing. One by one, they are insisting under interrogation that the government had no chemical, biological or nuclear weapons programs in recent years, U.S. officials say."
This has irritated the petulant Bush, who complained: "We're learning that, for example, [Iraq Foreign Minister] Tarik Aziz still doesn't know how to tell the truth. He didn't know how to tell the truth when he was in office, he doesn't know how to tell the truth as a captive."
It is my fervent hope that one of the Democratic presidential candidates in Congress will grow some balls and call for an official inquiry on whether the American public was lied to about the reasons for the war in Iraq. But after watching the disappointing "debate" last weekend, I'm not going to hold my breath.
