So now that we have ~three~ former administration officials who have come out of this administration with _the Same Story_, we are supposed to trust this administrations word on anything? Particularly when Stephen Hadley, Rices lapdog was caught Lying on 60 minutes last night? This administration just isn't credible anymore, and no amount of propaganda you point to can change that. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
