Anything about BJC’s Admin + all other Western Intell re confirmation that Iraq had WMD?
Obviously I have only read the news accounts of what is in the book and not the book itself, which I’m in no hurry to read. My thought is, it’s the easy false claim to make, but on the other hand if you are going to assume they would go to the extent of forging documents, then you have to wonder why they wouldn’t forge more devastating documents. I mean, if you were so corrupt as to be willing to manufacture evidence, what prevents you from manufacturing evidence of say, Iranian involvement? Look at how vexatious the Iranian standoff has been. If the administration had resorted to forgery in this minor and peripheral way as Suskind suggests with regard to Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi threat, wouldn’t they have used it to involve Iran (or anything more significant that what Suskind asserts)? Which is why I am suspicious and doubt the story completely.
