NO- it could be verified. How about Bush- not even him- just a leading official from the Bush administration coming forward to verify these news stories that always seem to evaporate within weeks?

Now why the Bush administration doesn't talk about these connections more often than it does is a good question and one I have long pondered.

I imagine it's because they know the press will react like you have. Demanding absolute proof. Like in a court of law - blood evidence sort of stuff. Videotape. You know -the stuff we are never going to have. Don't have it in lots of murder cases either but we manage to put criminals away every day.
