The story that Iraq was procuring WMD material from Niger was fake. Cheney leaked the identity of a covert CIA operative, Valeria Plame to the media, to ruin her career in retribution for her husband's activity in uncovering the deception, based upon known, faulty intelligence. Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney's chief of staff was convicted in federal court and sent to the federal penitentiary for his role in the matter.

Bush took us to war based upon coordinated deception of the American public perpetrated in large part by his Vice President, Dick Cheney.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 [2002] — Vice President Dick Cheney today presented the administration's most forceful and comprehensive rationale yet for attacking Iraq, warning that Saddam Hussein would "fairly soon" have nuclear weapons.

The Plame affair was a very small element of broad strategy adopted by the Bush administration to sell the war to the American public. Cheney would repeatedly and grossly exaggerate the threat represented by Hussein.

Remember the mobile anthrax labs detailed by Powel, diagrams charts and all? That was more falsified propaganda. They never existed.

Bush led us to war based upon false pretenses. A coordinated effort to propagandize the American public. The terrorist was the republican administration.
