Would W, Rove and Co had won the election if the information about WMD was not suppressed?
Cheats usually get expelled from shcool. If they are in public office, they just get promoted by W, Rove and Co, it seems.
When are the impeachment proceedings going to begin?
Slice:
Last October, just weeks before the presidential election, I wrote a column stating that the acting director of the CIA was suppressing a report to Congress that was potentially embarrassing to President Bush's campaign. The report had been completed by the CIA's own independent inspector general four months before the election, yet the agency rebuffed Congress' request that it be made public.
Now, thanks to last week's release of another report, that of the Bush-appointed Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction, we learn that the embargoed CIA report centered on the outrageous case of the now-infamous Iraqi informant known by the code name, "Curveball."
...To squelch the exposure of such widespread incompetence and deadly manipulation of national security intelligence is a betrayal of democracy.

I was just reading an article (maybe this same one) over on dissidentvoice.org
ominous if accurate.
"...To squelch the exposure of such widespread incompetence and deadly manipulation of national security intelligence is a betrayal of democracy."
I couldn't agree more. There are graves and hospitals filled with the results of this action.
Failure to 'Check the checkables,' unforgivable in an 'intelligence' agency
Page 78, The Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction (PDF available on whitehouse.gov).
''The CIA had still not evaluated the authenticity of the documents when it coordinated on the State of the Union address, in which the President noted that the “British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.”208 Although there is some disagreement about the details of the coordination process, no one in the Intelligence Community had asked that the line be removed.209 At the time of the State of the Union speech, CIA analysts continued to believe that Iraq probably was seeking uranium from Africa, although there was growing concern among some CIA analysts that there were problems with the reporting.210
''The IAEA, after receiving copies of the documents from the United States, reviewed them and immediately concluded that they were forgeries.211 As the IAEA found, the documents contained numerous indications of forgery — flaws in the letterhead, forged signatures, misspelled words, incorrect titles for individuals and government entities, and anomalies in the documents’ stamps.212 The documents also contained serious errors in content. For example, the document describing the agreement made reference to the legal authority for the agreement, but referenced an out-of-date statutory provision. The document also referred to a meeting that took place on “Wednesday, July 7, 2000” even though July 7, 2000 was a Friday.213''
