Raymond, it may shock you to tell you this, but every President since the 70's has had a strategic interest in ensuring the U.S. oil supplies are unhindered. Every President has some task force within the broad White House organization that looks at our global oil interests and determines if there are threats that may harm our economy. They'd be fools if they didn't. So having maps isn't criminal. Manufacturing evidence against Iraq with the intent to invade would be criminal. So far, there is enough fog that makes it difficult to conclude whether the adminstration was snookered by Saddam's deliberate ambiguity wrt his WMD or whether the administration criminally manufactured the evidence for war. I'd love for a bi-partisan task force to do an investigation and come to a conclusion on that one. Pre-emptive warfare is a scary thought, so a task force to determine whether it was justified and whether this administration abused that concept and engaged in criminal behavior would be a very good thing.
