Because you'll trust Al Qaeda before you trust our own troops? No. Has nothing to do with trusting the troops. And certainly not "trusting" Al Qaeda. Has everything to do with NOT trusting the Bush admin and its close allies. Victoria Clark was one of the "masterminds" behind the 1991 tissue of lies. The letter is just too convenient--it convenys by implication to Iraqi Shia exactly what the Bush admin wants to convey to it--we aren't going away, Al Qaeda just wants to exploit you, turn them and the deadenders in, trust us we're your best hope. It is a powerful whisper that "smells" to me of disinformation, the kind that people at Hill & Knowlton are very very good at. The simplest explanation for Bush suffering all this embarrassment regarding the non-finding of WMDs is that this administration is unwilling to fake data, even to avoid profound political embarrassment. Or it could make them even more willing to fake a memo. All's fair in love and war. At any rate, I'm gone for the night, I shouldn't be doing this, have too much work to do, and, though you couldn't tell from this evening's missives, I don't like to express the level of cynicism that I have expressed tonight. Bad for the soul.
