Jack Abramoff...here's my favorite quote of his...
POSSIBLE FOREKNOWLEDGE OF THE IRAQ WAR
Jack Abramoff has indicated that he knew that the US would invade Iraq before the American public did. On March 18, 2002, After being e-mailed by an old friend who was a militant Israeli settler, Abramoff responded: "I was sitting with Karl Rove, Bush's top advisor, at the NCAA basketball game, discussing Israel when email came in. I showed it to him. It seems that the President was very sad to have to come out negatively regarding Israel but that they needed to mollify the Arabs for the upcoming war on Iraq. That did not seem to work anyway. Bush seems to love Sharon and Israel, and thinks Arabfat is nothing but a liar. I thought I'd pass that on."
This was written before the Downing Street memo, the Bush-Blair memo, and Niger uranium documents forgery were written. This was also before the Office of Special Plans and the White House Iraq Group were created, and before Congress authorised Bush to invade Iraq with the Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq.
