Manipulate, Disseminate, Rinse, Repeat

It's one thing to have manipulated the intelligence around the mobile biolab trailers prior to the invasion of Iraq. There was varying reports as to what they actually were. It's quite another thing however, to replace fact with fiction in regards to the same trailers when you have the final report proclaiming them to be hydrogen manufacturing units, despite pressure from the DIA to report the contrary, to say your rationale was correct.

That's exactly what President Bush did though. Two days after the final report on the trailers was completed on May 29, 2003, Bush told the American people that proof of mobile biolabs had been found in Iraq. The administration flat out lied to us.

The report was classified and put on a shelf, never to see the light of day until members of the crack team that wrote the report decided to talk to the Washington Post. They have the story in today's edition.

Yes, you may ask, but how easy would it be to convert them to mobile biolabs? From the Washington Post:

"It would be easier to start all over with just a bucket," said Rod Barton, an Australian biological weapons expert and former member of the survey group.

The team that wrote the report came to refer to the trailers as "the biggest sand toilets in the world."

This administration only admits the truth when cornered with proof.
