Smears Catalogued
We've had phony intelligence that Iraq was overflowing with WMDs; that Saddam Hussein tried to procure uranium from Niger; and that Joe Wilson got the job of investigating the Niger claim at the behest of his wife.
Now the government has cooked up "intelligence" that William Arkin, a journalist and activist who has reported on much skullduggery of the U.S. government vis a vis Iraq, was a spy for Saddam Hussein. The documents are clear forgeries, and the Pentagon admits as much.
The Defense Department's response to Arkin's demand for an investigation?
"DiRita said an investigation is 'not likely. It is probably not possible to determine the source of such a matter, and I am unaware of any involvement in it by someone inside the department that would warrant a further look.'"
Being an empire means never having to say you're sorry.
