In July, 2005, Representative John Conyers, Ranking Member of the
House Judiciary Committee, commissioned this report after President
Bush failed to answer a letter from 122 members of Congress and a
half million Americans about the truth of the Downing Street Memos.
This book is replete with evidence that the run-up to the Iraq War
was laced with Administration lies and distortions, to make it
appear that the US was threatened. As the Downing Street Memos say:
""...the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the
policy""...This unique compilation also includes information about
torture in Abu Ghraib, Guantanomo and other detention centres in
direct violation of the Geneva Convention, as well as information
about unauthorised domestic spying by the National Security Agency.
Ambassador Joseph C Wilson - author of the ""New York Times""
best-seller ""The Politics of Truth"" - was sent to Niger by the
CIA to investigate the Bush Administration charge that Saddam
Hussein had bought 'yellow cake' for his alleged nuclear weapons
program. Mr. Wilson ascertained that there was no truth to the
charge. His wife, Valerie Plame, a career undercover operative for
the CIA, was later outed by members of the White House staff in
apparent retaliation for Ambassador Wilson's finding. Readers of
this crucial report will understand at last that the erosion of
Americans' rights as to war, privacy, and freedom of speech,
presents a threat to our security and our liberty.
