FBI Lied to Clinton about Iraqi Assassination Attempt on Bush Sr.

[protect freedom impeach bush now]

Baltimore Sun's Scott Shane reports, "In Nov. 1993, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh scrutinized the alleged in the New Yorker magazine and concluded that much of the evidence given by the FBI and CIA - and presented to the United Nations after the missile attack - was flawed or wrong. He suggested that the Kuwaitis might have invented the plot, its Iraqi connection or its focus on Bush, forcing one or more plotters to confess under torture." Subsequently Frederic Whitehurst, "the former FBI chemist who tested the explosive recovered in Kuwait says he told superiors it did not match known Iraqi explosives... When he later saw an official FBI document misstating his findings, he filed an official protest. The inspector general's report eventually confirmed that Whitehurst's findings had been distorted, but said government officials assured investigators that they had other evidence linking the plot to Iraq." OK, show us!

As president, George W. Bush speaks daily of the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Rarely does he mention the episode 10 years ago that made the threat very personal for him as a son, a husband and a brother.

In April 1993, Iraqi intelligence agents allegedly tried to assassinate Bush's father during a triumphal post-presidency visit to Kuwait, where he was lionized as the man who liberated the oil-rich Persian Gulf kingdom from Iraqi invaders.

As President Bush readies the country for war to remove the Iraqi regime that may have plotted to murder his father, the story of what happened a decade ago in Kuwait takes on fresh relevance.

Though significant questions remain today about the evidence uncovered by Kuwaiti and U.S. investigators, the CIA and FBI officially concluded that Iraqi intelligence agents had launched a serious attempt to kill the former president.

1. Clinton was lied to plenty by Bush loyalists in the CIA and FBI.

I think that's why he and other Dems were certain that Iraq was a greater threat than they were. They thought they were seeing solid info.
