A growing number of U.S. national security professionals are accusing the Bush administration of slanting the facts and hijacking the $30 billion intelligence apparatus to justify its rush to war in Iraq
“There are current intelligence officials who believe it is a scandal,” he said in a telephone interview. They believe the administration, before going to war, had a “moral obligation to use the best information available, not just information that fits your preconceived ideas.”
Anger among security professionals appears widespread. Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, a group that says it is made up mostly of CIA intelligence analysts, wrote to U.S. President George Bush May 1 to hit what they called “a policy and intelligence fiasco of monumental proportions.”
“In intelligence there is one unpardonable sin — cooking intelligence to the recipe of high policy,” it wrote. “There is ample indication this has been done with respect to Iraq.”
This is our watergate, and it’s about time, damnit! Goodbye Bush, Goobye Blair.

I hope the Vote To Impeach thing goes well… While I’m glad I live in Canada, I wish I could do more to help those in the US fighting against such men.
