So who did the Administration hold accountable for the false info they were given?
They blame it on false intelligence... Who gave them that? The Adminstration was saying "there is no doubt" so someone supposedly gave them ironclad information to launch a war with that was false. Who was that and what consequences did they suffer? This could be no petty little mistake. This information was so solid and so convincing as to take a nation to WAR. Since as it has proved out there were no WMDs or any connection to Al Qaeda some one had to have embellished the facts. Who is that someone and are they still employed by the US Government. There have been thousands upon thousands of people killed injured or displaced from their homes over LIES and no one has been held accountable, WHY? WHY? WHY? Someone gave out false intelligence and it was no accident.....What has been done or is being done about it?... If this nation wants to be run as a Corporation and led by a CEO then accountability is a given. No major Corporation would allow such a massive mistake without holding someone accountable.....Why do we the people? We must demand accountability....There is nothing more pressing. If that person or persons would do it once they will do it again and again. Who is it and what is being done about it? This is no minor little campaign LIE. This is Life and Death...Who are the persons responsible?

4. I guess The Medal of Freedom was not really what I meant by accountability
:shrug: I know, you know, much of America knows, but I would like these questions asked of the Administration for show if no other reason. Just to pretend someone cares....:-(

2. Tenet confused matters, in my opinion.
I think, instead of coming out like a bull to defend his agency, he acted like the Bush Administration's bitch. And he got a medal for it and thought he could disappear into retirement, just like Louis Freeh did.

3. THEY manufactured the false info when they had the facts in their hot
little hands. They have no one to blame but themselves, but won't. Someone should:

5. Responsibility - this administration in only responsible to it's corporate
sponsors. Putting more of our countries wealth into corporate board rooms is the only call they answer to.

All information, statements, decisions are made toward that end. There is no need for facts or solid evidence. As long as the gravy train keeps rolling the corporate sponsors will not ask any questions. The only facts that the corporate sponsors need are their bank accounts.

6. Douglas Feith,.. Office of Special Planning
--- The OSP has since been dismantled, of course,... and Feith has tried to fade into the Israeli-neocon background. It's interesting however that, immediately after Cheney, it is Feith who perhaps is most deserving of the death penalty for treason.

7. John Conyers knows what happened, as do many in his ranks,
whether or not they can bring these people to justice, is a question on many peoples' minds.
