Bush team kept airing Iraq Allegation

[RaRa]

"Since last month, presidential aides have said a questionable allegation, that Iraq (news - web sites) had tried to buy African uranium for nuclear weapons, made it into President Bush (news - web sites)'s State of the Union address because of miscommunication between the CIA (news - web sites) and Bush's staff.

But by the time the president gave the speech, on Jan. 28, that same allegation was already part of an administration campaign to win domestic and international support for invading Iraq. In January alone, it was included in two official documents sent out by the White House and in speeches and writings by the president's four most senior national security officials."

Yahoo showed this headline for about 5 seconds. I checked back here to see if it was up, then when I went back to yahoo it was replaced by the "Bush claim progress" bullshit. A fellow DUer had to show me the link that "mysteriously' dissappeared. Censorship is alive and well!

1. It's not censorship. It's their readers' ratings system.

Go there and rate it a "5" at the bottom of the page to help move it back up to headlines.
