Kristol: "If the White House Manipulated Intel, "It Might Well Be an Indictable Offense".

Well do you really think so?

Could you be sued if you yelled, "FIRE" in a crowded theater and someone died and you knew there was no fire?  If prosecutors could show that you had a reasonable expectation that not only would someone get hurt but someone would get killed do you think you could go to jail? How much of a stretch is it to go from that scenario to creating a war based on false evidence? If you create a war do you think anyone will get killed? Duh!

If you can indict a ham sandwhich I sure as hell hope you can indict those responsible for taking us to war under false pretenses! If our system of government can't do that it can not provide for our security and something needs to be changed.

Now suppose you have a friend who comes over to your house and provides evidence that your wife is cheating on you with multiple partners. You divorce your wife, are forced to sell the house, lose custody of the kids and can only see them at times not really suitable for your schedule. So you seldom see them at all. You are forced to borrow heavily to carry out the divorce and you find yourself on the brink of bankruptcy. Then slowly information comes out that your friend was just feeding you false information. Nothing he told you turns out to be true. But not only that, this FORMER friend of yours found out your business secrets and gave them to your competitors causing you considerable difficulty in securing your exposure in competion with them.

So when all is said and done do you invite this friend to your house for beer and watch the football game? Cook him a juicy steak for supper and act like bygones will be bygones? Well that is what we are doing with Ahmed Chalabi.  "Face-to-face meetings with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and probably other senior Bush administration officials await Ahmed Chalabi as the Iraqi deputy prime minister pursues political rehabilitation in Washington". http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/11/04/national/w130903S85.DTL

Chalabi should be hotter than Nagasaki on August 10th 1945. The fellow should be so damn radioactive he glows in the dark and yet we are going to feast him and treat him to a rehabilitation. Is there any wonder why people think this country is headed in the wrong direction? And who is making any noise about all of this? If the Democrats ever had something to unite over this would be it. Ahmed Chalabi is no friend of my America and we should make no pretense that he is.
