War, Lies and Yellow Cake

Yesterday, Tom Tomorrow wrote a terrific article on his blog entitled "War, Lies and Yellow Cake." It makes some great points and does so briefly. (I'm hoping this hasn't been posted before, and if it is, it's worth bringing back to the top of the line again.)

One short quote:

"It’s not about whether the yellowcake business was a lie if Bush believed it at the time, or whatever it is the pro-war weasels are arguing. There was so much evidence to the contrary, if he did believe it he should probably be impeached on grounds of sheer incompetence, but that, too, is another rant. No, they knew they were lying—maybe, just maybe not the boy President, whose grasp of current events seems shaky at best (see post below)-- but for damn sure Uncle Karl and that nice Mister Cheney knew it was a lie, and this is the point: it’s still a lie even if it was a lie told in the service of what they believed to be a greater truth."

You tell 'em, Tom!
