WASHINGTON - With demands for a full-scale investigation of the manipulation of intelligence by the administration of President George W Bush mounting steadily, it appears increasingly clear that key officials and their allies outside the administration decided to use the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as a pretext for going to war against Iraq within hours of the attacks themselves.

Within the administration, the principals appear to have included Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Vice President Dick Cheney and his national-security advisor, I Lewis Libby, among others in key posts in the National Security Council and the State Department.

Outside the administration, key figures included close friends of both Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld, including Richard Perle and former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) chief James Woolsey - both members of Rumsfeld's Defense Policy Board (DPB); Frank Gaffney, head of the arms industry-funded Center for Security Policy; and William Kristol, editor of the Rupert Murdoch-owned Weekly Standard and chairman of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), among others.

2. Asia Times has had two great articles this year re:the PNAC

and all of the crimminals associated with it. They have done outstanding reporting on naming the names in the cabal and their dirty agenda. I know one article was before the invasion and another follow up in April I believe. I will see if I can find the links.

4. Honestly, I'd never heard of Asia Times before...

Do you have any idea of their reach or significance? I assume they have a print version.

Would like to keep that- especially if they name names as they did this time.

8. Another Asia Times link...

Asia times has been on top of these PNACers like white on rice for a while now. Just do a search on their site of PNAC and see what you get!
