<The White House apologized for that 16 word sentence being in the SOU. The White House IS the President> No. The President did not take responsibility. He, and Rice, said it was Tenet's fault. And Tenet, the loyal team player, takes a bullet for the President. Or tries to, anyway. Cheney, who insisted every last ludicrous fear-mongering invention, including this one and a dozen others, get included in every speech by every top Administration team member, he takes no blame either. It isn't about 16 words. It's about 200 dead Americans (so far), and at least 10,000 dead Iraqis (so far). Here's the latest: Mr Straw did not say why Britain declined to share the information with its ally, but wrote that he had explained the reasons privately to the committee.
