Conyers Announces Review of Allegations of Bush Administration’s Forged Iraq Intelligence

Conyers Announces Review of Allegations of Bush Administration’s Forged Iraq Intelligence

Press Release:

Congressman John Conyers
For Immediate Release
August 11, 2008

House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) today announced plans to review allegations that senior Bush Administration officials ordered the forgery and dissemination of false intelligence documents as reported by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Ron Suskind, in his new book, "The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism."

"Mr. Suskind reports that the Bush Administration, in its pursuit of war, created and promoted forged documents about Iraq," said Conyers. "I am particularly troubled that the decision to disseminate this fabricated intelligence is alleged to have come from the highest reaches of the administration. The administration’s attempt to challenge Mr. Suskind’s reporting appears to have been effectively dismissed by the publication of the author’s interview recordings and transcripts. I have instructed my staff to conduct a careful review of Mr. Suskind’s allegations and the role played by senior administration officials in this matter."

A number of issues raised in Mr. Suskind’s book to be reviewed include:

  • The origin of the allegedly forged document that formed the basis for Bush’s 2003 State of the Union assertion that Iraq sought yellowcake uranium from Niger;
  • The role of this document in creating the false impression that 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta had a working relationship with Iraq;
  • The relationship between this document and other reported examples of the Bush Administration considering other deceptive schemes to justify or provoke war with Iraq, such as the reported consideration of painting a U.S. aircraft with UN colors in order to provoke Iraq into military confrontation;
  • Allegations that the Bush Administration deliberately ignored information from Iraq’s chief intelligence officer that Iraq possessed no WMDs;
  • The payment of $5 million to Iraq’s chief intelligence officer and his secret settlement in Jordan, beyond the reach of investigators;
  • The September 2007 detainment and interrogation of Mr. Suskind’s research assistant, Greg Jackson, by federal agents in Manhattan. Jackson’s notes were also confiscated.

More worthless babble from Conyers

Bush's own intel community was telling him in 2002 that the Niger/uranium claim could not be substantiated, to the point that they insisted on its removal from a late 2002 Bush speech. The documents purporting to reveal the deal are grade school quality forgeries, using names of officals that had been out of office for more than ten years when the deal supposedly happened. But the cons threw the bogus claim into the 2003 SOU anyway, no doubt as part of the effort to close the sale of their fraudulent invasion of Iraq to the American people.

And Conyers is just now getting around to investigating it?

Spare us the hot air and do your job, Mr. Conyers. Start impeachment hearings now, or just keep your mouth shut and live by the terms of whatever illicit deal you have made with the traitors you are enabling.

Thanks, John, I guess....

Sounds good, John.....like many other things that you have said and written.

Gonna follow through this time? Gonna take any kind of appropriate action this time? Just pleain' administration critics and war critics? Think this 'ill be enough to keep 'em at least partially satisfy while not doing anything to "upset the apple cart?" ...to diminish Democrats' chances in November? ...to avoid being assassinated? ...to avoid provoking Republicans into exposing the complicity of Democrats in the war? ...to avoid provoking Republicans into canceling elections and taking over the government?

If you fulfill your duties, Democrats will win as they have won after fulfilling their duties.

Nothing--not even avoiding assassination--is worth avoiding your responsibilities to those who you have helped send to their deaths in Iraq and who you continue to send to their deaths. Life is sometimes tough. Buck up!

That the Democrats have been unjust war enablers is already known by all.

The generals would not let the Republicans take over the government.

John, you wrote a book, "The Constitution In Crisis." What is necessary for you to do what you know needs to be done? What, John? What?! Tell us!

Listening...

Felony Violation, Patriot Act. False information on terrorism.

Cheney and bush committed felony violations of the USA Patriot Act when they provided false information on terrorism by forging national security intelligence documents on terrorism that asserted associations between Saddam Hussein, (Iraq), Al Qaeda and terrorism. cheney and bush's actions were serious and egregous felony violations of the USA Patriot when bush and cheney provided false information on terrorism. It is a felony violation of the USA Patriot Act to provide false information on terrorism, a serious and egregious felony violation.

Suskind, according to Wolf Blitzer, accuses bush and cheney of using the Whitehouse, (and the stationary belonging to the Whitehouse), and acting in collusion with the CIA to forge national security documents and then provide those documents on terrorism, (knowing they were false), to another party.

Providing false information on terrorism is a serious and egregious felony violation of the USA Patriot Act.

If documents were forged by the CIA and the whitehouse, (cheney and bush), that were used to promote the idea that Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda were connected and were involved in terrorist activities in Iraq is providing information on terrorism that is false, and is indeed conspiracy to provide false information on terrorism.

My big juicy apple, and it is so bitter, so filled with worms and maggots. But I am so hungry.

The only remedy for felony violation of the USA Patriot Act by the CIA, felony violation of the USA Patriot Act by george bush, and felony violation of the USA Patriot Act by dick cheney, (all acting in collusion), is the swift impeachment of george bush and dick cheney.

A felony violation of the USA Patriot Act perpetrated by bush, cheney and the CIA on the revered stationary of your founding father's nation, how can this be?

There are many felony violations of the USA Patriot Act to observe surrounding the conspiratoral collusions of the CIA, dick cheney and bush to provide false information on terrorism. A rare treat in jurisprudence, very few felony violations of the USA Patriot Act are so apparent, so egregious and serious as the felony violation of the USA Patriot Act by providing false information on terrorism in forged documents by dick cheney, george bush and the CIA.

The USA Patriot Act must be applied to Articles of Impeachment based solely on felony violations of the USA Patriot Act to bring about the impeachment of dick cheney, and george bush.

It is un-American to allow dick cheney, george bush and the CIA to provide false information on terrorism and violate the felony provisions of the USA Patriot Act.

We must impeach bush and cheney with accusation of high crimes, felony violation of the USA Patriot Act.

Conyers sounds frustrated, irratated, pathetic, whiny ... terrified of his own shadow.

Applying the USA Patriot Act to Articles of Impeachment for bush and cheney

Iraq/Niger documents used to justify invasion BAD forgeries.
