When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

I got an email from Bushrecall.org today quoting from the Waxman report on the Administration's misleading the nation and Congress before going into Iraq. Sen. Kerry stated he voted to go to Iraq because the Admdinistration misled him and many sneered. I myself sneered, since I believed from the get-go that Bush &Co were lying. Kerry's not so cynical, I guess.
The Government report details 237 misleading statements by top Bush admdinistration officials. See the full report

Because of the gravity of the subject and the President's unique access to classified information, members of Congress and the public should expect the President and his senior officials to take special care to be balanced and accurate in describing national security threats. It does not appear, however, that President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary Powell, and National Security Advisor Rice met this standard in the case of Iraq. To the contrary, these five officials repeatedly made misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq.
