New Evidence Contradicts White House Assertions on Uranium Claim
New evidence obtained by the Committee indicates that the CIA rejected White House efforts to insert the claim that Iraq sought uranium from Africa into two speeches by President Bush prior to the 2003 State of the Union address, contradicting assertions made to Congress by then-White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales on behalf of then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.
Memo on the President’s Claim that Iraq Sought Uranium from Niger
On a side note, from a new memo, House Oversight Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) says that he has found evidence contradicting Gonzales’ assertions:
The information the Oversight Committee has received casts serious doubt on the veracity of the representations that Mr. Gonzales made on behalf of Dr. Rice. Contrary to Mr. Gonzales’s assertions, the Committee has received evidence that the CIA objected to the uranium claim in both speeches, resulting in its deletion from the President’s remarks.

Yeah, well that "evidence refuting their claims" was publicly available BEFORE the war began...way too little, way too late.
Where is the ABA on unethical lawyers who manipulate the law and get thousands tortured, maimed and killed? Why does Gonzo still have his license? I asked them this years ago, still waiting on an answer.
Calling Randall Samborn I need a pass to the Gonzales/Rice trial, please. Also I need a pass to the United Nations for the Bush Administration trial on War Crimes. Don't worry Randall I already have a place to stay in New York City so I can see the trial of the Century.
