How can he order such strikes if he doesn't have solid information?
We don't need a 14-month inquiry producing 601 pages at a cost of $10 million to tell us the data on arms in Iraq was flawed. We know that. When we got over there, we didn't find any.

This is the fourth exhaustive investigation that has not answered the basic question: How did the White House and Pentagon spin the information and why has no one gotten in trouble for it?

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=636742

Today we take up the case of Murat Kurnaz, one of the thousands of innocent captives held illegally in the belly of the new American beast: U.S. President George W. Bush's deadly global gulag, where homicide and torture are quite literally the order of the day.

"Why imprison the innocent? Why the sham tribunals? What's with all this torture stuff?" -- there is a simple answer.
