I finally caught the Frontline Cheney piece on rerun. I think that what they said about the Atta story is that the 9/11 Commission concluded it wasn't true, or rather that there was no basis in fact supporting it, nothing there, and that's accurate. I thought it was pretty fair -- maybe because I've been saying the same things for years (not about Atta, about WMD). Cheney deserves to take a big hit for the information that was used to justify the Iraq war. The yellowcake story, the aluminum tubes story, the mobile weapons labs story, those were all Cheney's babies, and they all peel back to Chalabi and the INC. I hadn't realized that we had no agents in Iraq before the war -- except for the few guys we turned right before the invasion. Which must have made Chalabi seem like a Godsend, especially when he is a master at telling people what they want to hear. I hadn't realized how much of a puppet Judy Miller was, mostly because I hadn't really thought about it, but she was. Ironic that the NYTimes was being used as a house organ for the Office of the Vice President.
