Tired of being played for a fool!
LTTE sent to Newsday & NYT:

As a New Yorker who was angry as hell over the 9/11 attacks, I believed what the president told the country in the run-up to the Iraq war.

After the Bush Administration repeatedly doctored government reports on global warming, energy, and grazing, I now find the Downing Street Memos’ assertion that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy" to be extremely compelling.

Furthermore, it seems that CIA agent Valerie Plame’s identity was deliberately revealed in an attempt to discredit her husband Joe Wilson because he had shown that the Bush administration was doing exactly what the Downing Street Memos assert.

I, and an overwhelming majority of New Yorkers I know, take the Bush Administration's silence on Rove and the Plame incident as an admission of guilt. If there is some other explanation, I believe it is time for them to come clean.

4. I was overrun with freeper-type revenge.
Thankfully, no one I was close with was killed, but I have many firemen and policemen friends and knew some guys from my apt. building who were killed. Relatives and friends of friends were killed. I was too angry to bother with the facts. :(

3. FRom day one, the Bush administration has been the most secretive
administration in memory. Secrecy implies secrets. Their secrets are the lies used to justify a war that was not needed and the use of an American tragedy for their own personal agenda. Hopefully, some of these lies will now see the light.
