THE BIGGER LIE!

[chiburb]

From Tapped:

David Corn is right to point out, as he does in Salon today, that the infamous 16 words were not the worst Iraq-related lie for which President Bush and his advisors are responsible. During the 2003 State of the Union, Bush said:
Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications, and statements by people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of al Qaeda.

The full congressional 9-11 report is not yet available, and it looks like most of the papers decided to focus -- understandably -- on the report's central conclusion, which was that intelligence agencies had various chances to stop the attack from happening and, for a variety of reasons, couldn't or didn't take them. This, of course, is what we basically knew already. More interesting is the preview UPI's Shaun Waterman provides: The report will show that there was absolutely no evidence of a link between Iraq and al-Qaeda.

Keep in mind that the report was finished in December 2002, well before the president's State of the Union speech. Which suggests that he lied about the Iraq-al-Qaeda connection, too -- deliberately.
