Minnesota Daily: "Because of the administration's penchant for secrecy and plausible deniability, the American people might never know what the president authorized the vice president and Lewis Libby to do or not to do. It is clear, however, that if these allegations are true, the president will have moved beyond teetering the grounds for impeachment. If these allegations are true the president of the United States has committed treason."

Kevin Drum: "YET MORE LIES....Joby Warrick of the Washington Post reports on the latest evidence of WMD fabrications from the Bush administration ... Is this ever going to end? How many more deliberate fabrications would we learn about if we could just turn the White House upside down and shake it?"

The Washington Post: "On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a fresh victory for his administration in Iraq: Two small trailers captured by U.S. and Kurdish troops had turned out to be long-sought mobile "biological laboratories." He declared, "We have found the weapons of mass destruction."
The claim, repeated by top administration officials for months afterward, was hailed at the time as a vindication of the decision to go to war. But even as Bush spoke, U.S. intelligence officials possessed powerful evidence that it was not true."

The Independent: "President George Bush has claimed he was told by God to invade Iraq and attack Osama bin Laden's stronghold of Afghanistan as part of a divine mission to bring peace to the Middle East, security for Israel, and a state for the Palestinians."
