Waxman Has "Been Quietly" Pressing Investigation Into Pre-War Lies

Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 09:31 AM by kpete

Waxman presses investigation into pre-war lies.

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) is continuing to investigate the White House for proof the president lied when making the case for going to war in Iraq. U.S. News reports Waxman has “been quietly summoning former Bush aides, especially speechwriters, to testify behind closed doors about what they knew and how they phrased his words on the issue.”

3. Waxman has been building a case since 2002.

I thought once the Dems took charge, they'd be able to unleash him.

4. especially speechwriters...

makes me think of the "sixteen words," which the CIA had gotten removed from a previous speech, but then somehow made it back into the State of the Union.

Condi was asked about this, and she said they had just forgotten about the CIA's objections.

Waxman's investigation could shine some light on this unlikely "forgetting."
