Speaking of Cheney and Condi-Lies-a-Lotta Rice...

Condi Rice was ALSO on the talk show circuit today spreading yet more lies about ties between Saddam/Iraq and al Qaeda/9-11 on America's BEST venue for lies (outside of the White House), Fox News. See the previous post here about Cheney's continuation of lies.

From Amanda at Think Progress who also cites this at Washington Post:

Rice tried to pin the blame on then CIA Director George Tenet, saying he said, “there were ties going on between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein’s regime going back for a decade.” But in July, Tenet told the Senate Intelligence Committee that “the White House pressured him and that he agreed to back up the administration’s case for war despite his own agents’ doubts about the intelligence it was based on.”

Rice also tried to dismiss the Senate report as being after-the fact, stating, “Now, are we learning more now that we have access to people like Saddam Hussein’s intelligence services? Of course.” But as Wallace pointed out, a Defense Intelligence Agency report from Feb. 2002 — before the U.S. invasion — also concluded that Iraq and Al Qaeda had no relationship: “Iraq is unlikely to have provided bin Laden any useful CB, that’s chemical or biological, knowledge or assistance.” Rice said she did not remember seeing that report.
