Round 4: Wehner vs. Corn on Bush and the Iraq War
By Peter Wehner - Politics DailyAs readers of Politics Daily are aware, David Corn and I have gone back and forth with one another on whether President Bush lied us into the Iraq war. The whole exchange was triggered by something I wrote here, which actually had nothing to do with the reasons we went to war. But my piece led to this , this , and this. In his most recent column on the subject, Corn went after me, my former White House colleague Karl Rove, and New York Times columnist Ross Douthat for daring to challenge the "Bush lied" mantra. Corn lists what he thinks is the strongest evidence to prove Bush lied -- and he ...
Can the 'Bush Lied' Deniers Handle the Truth?
By David Corn - Politics DailyBring it on. Conservative apologists for the George W. Bush crew are swinging hard these days to defend their man -- and themselves -- from the charge that W. and his gang misled the nation into war. They must worry that they are going to end up on the wrong side of history. After all, a 2008 Gallup poll found that 53 percent of Americans believed that the Bush administration "deliberately misled the American public about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction."

By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyLONDON -- Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair appeared before a government-appointed panel in London Friday to answer questions about his role in the war in Iraq. It was, in many ways, the moment this country has been waiting for ever since Blair's government joined the United States in invading Iraq in 2003. And in a telling sign of just how torn up the U.K. is over this man -- and this conflict -- he was alternately compared to both Jesus Christ and Richard Nixon as he took the stand. ...

By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Jan. 14) – A former chief U.N. weapons inspector was recently arrested on charges of making unlawful sexual contact with a minor over the Internet, again. Scott Ritter, who searched Iraq for weapons of mass destruction from 1991 to 1998, has been accused of using an online chat client to send sexually explicit videos to an undercover officer posing as a 15-year-old girl, the Pocono Record reports. The incident allegedly took place in February 2009, but Ritter wasn't arrested until November because investigators had to obtain court orders to search his cell phone and computer for ...
Pentagon Report Warns of 'Technological Surprise'
By Sharon Weinberger - AOL News(Nov. 17) -- An area of science long rejected by the mainstream scientific community has caught the eye of a U.S. intelligence agency, which is now warning of the possibility of a new type of weapon of mass destruction. More than 20 years after two chemists in Utah claimed they were able to generate nuclear reactions at room temperature -- quickly dubbed cold fusion -- many scientists still ridicule the field. But a new report by the Defense Intelligence Agency claims that cold fusion could present a "technological surprise" to the United States. Nuclear fusion, such as the process that ...
