White House ordered forgery to link al-Qaeda/Saddam to 9/11 attacks

[QFIT]

A new book says that in its attempt to link Iraq and 9/11:

"Bush White House faked a letter from Saddam Hussein’s intelligence chief to President Saddam in late 2003, backdating it to July 2001...."

The problem with torture is that you cannot believe anything elicited. We tortured people into creating forgeries to suggest that Saddam was a part of 9/11 and that Saddam supported terrorism. Of course, we now know that this was all lalse. That is, most people know this. Some people still cling to the idea that Saddam supported terrorism.

Which is exactly why they wanted torture to begin with.
And the single most LAME argument for torture is: "What if we needed to extract the whereabouts of a dirty bomb soon to go off in the US?" As if under such a scenario someone's hands would be tied by law.

I am becoming increasingly ashamed by US policies, regardless of which MASK is in power. zg
