Was the White House Iraq Group even legal??
Edited on Mon Aug-15-05 07:20 PM by DemsUnited
Just finished reading Think Progress' excellent list of "21 Administration Officials Involved in Plame Leak".

http://thinkprogress.org/2005/08/12/21-administration-officials-involved-in-plame-leak/

QUESTION: Many on the list were involved with the White House Iraq Group. The group's purpose was generate & disseminate propoganda to "sell the war". Isn't there a law against using taxpayer dollars for this kind of thing?

1. It is and since it was coming out of the v.p.'s office,
it should be double illegal.

3. WHIG ties.
WHIG has ties all over the West Wing and beyond.

Rove --> CuckooBananas
Libby --> CrashCart
Hadley --> KindaSleezy
Wilkinson --> Congress Critters

Hughes -----\
Matalin ------> M$M
Fleischer --/

WHIG is a monstrous conspiracy to fool citizens, Congress, and the world in order to justify a preemptive war.

4. More than likely it's illegal...
That would be my guess.
