I care. My government lied to me about the Gulf of Tonkin … about what happened with the U.S.S. Maddox and C. Turner Joy. Robert McNamara's book nearly broke my heart because it confirmed my worst fears: that my friends died for a cause our leaders had effectively abandoned.

I also care because it is a threat to the President. It is a potentially powerful political issue. I care because of what has happened to Tony Blair’s approval rating. I care because Senate hearings are going to be held and will magnify the issue. I care because the whole question of WMD is laden with potential political trouble.

I also care because I care about the truth.
