And Behind the Curtain...

Raw Story is reporting that new evidence from Ron Suskind backing up his book that reveals how the Nameless One was behind the effort to link Saddam to nukes is compelling stuff.

A forged letter linking Saddam Hussein to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks was ordered on White House stationery and probably came from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a new transcript of a conversation with the Central Intelligence Agency's former Deputy Chief of Clandestine Operations Robert Richer.

The transcript was posted Friday by author Ron Suskind of an interview conducted in June. It comes on the heels of denials by both the White House and Richer of a claim Suskind made in his new book, The Way of The World. The book was leaked to Politico's Mike Allen on Monday, and released Tuesday.

There SHOULD be investigations into this, but we live in America. The White House earlier this week tried to ignore the book.

On Tuesday, the White House released a statement on Richer's behalf. In it, Richer declared, "I never received direction from George Tenet or anyone else in my chain of command to fabricate a document ... as outlined in Mr. Suskind's book."

The denial, however, directly contradicts Richer's own remarks in the transcript.

"Now this is from the Vice President's Office is how you remembered it--not from the president?" Suskind asked.

"No, no, no," Richer replied, according to the transcript. "What I remember is George [Tenet] saying, 'we got this from'--basically, from what George said was 'downtown.'"

"Which is the White House?" Suskind asked.

"Yes," Richer said. "But he did not--in my memory--never said president, vice president, or NSC. Okay? But now--he may have hinted--just by the way he said it, it would have--cause almost all that stuff came from one place only: Scooter Libby and the shop around the vice president."

"But he didn't say that specifically," Richer added. "I would naturally--I would probably stand on my, basically, my reputation and say it came from the vice president."

"But there wasn't anything in the writing that you remember saying the vice president," Suskind continued.

"Nope," Richer said.

"It just had the White House stationery."

"Exactly right."

What will it take, I wonder, for the Democrats to decide to put the Nameless One in the dock for crimes against America and the world? I mean, how bad does it have to be to get back on Nancy's table?

Or would that start to reveal how many Dems were complicit on this? What does the old bastard have up his sleeve? This is brutal stuff here...and not a peep out of Obama, Nancy, or anybody in Congress about yet another effort to lie us into war? Will we ever know? Will President Obama ever decide to look into this whole mess six months from now (should he actually win?)

Does anybody left in America care anymore?
