fee fie foe... fum?

Well now. Looks like I get to have my cake and eat it, too, considering that at the beginning of the week (well, yesterday), I was thinking that because I was declaring Positive Week on me blog, I wouldn't be able to talk politics; this was because, of course, my political discussions were necessarily woefully negative.

But now...

A quote from Salon: "In retrospect, Cannistraro says it's clear 'the decision was made within a couple of months of Sept. 11 to get rid of Saddam Hussein. But the administration had to find rationale to do it. So they set up a secretive group through Feith which started producing information on Iraq that was more compatible than the CIA.'" This from an article about the "Office of Special Plans," an obscure office created after September 11th that apparently had a hand in intelligence, much of which provided the basis for going to war.

And now, Congresspeople want to investigate.

Here's a link to MoveOn, which is leading a drive to investigate distortion of Iraq intelligence; it does not specify whether the Office of Special Plans would be included in its investigation, but I would imagine it would come up. You can help by signing the petition and contacting your Congresspeople.
