Just in case you were starting to forget about the WMD intelligence meltdown, here is a little tidbit of a story coming out of CNN. A former top aide to Colin Powel has said that his involvement in Powell’s presentation to the UN on the weapons of mass destruction was “the lowest point” in his life.

“I wish I had not been involved in it,” says Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a longtime Powell adviser who served as his chief of staff from 2002 through 2005. “I look back on it, and I still say it was the lowest point in my life.”

CNN Presents is working on a new documentary called, “Dead Wrong — Inside an Intelligence Meltdown.”

The article goes on to say that, “Powell’s presentation initially came from a document he described as “sort of a Chinese menu” that was provided by the White House.”

It’s sickening that we went to war over this. There may have been many valid reasons for removing Saddam Hussein from power and we all agree the world is probably a better place without his regime, but lying to the American people to achieve the results is just disturbing. When will this administration be held accountable for the damage caused to this country and our reputation around the world, not to mention the thousands of dead military men and women who lost their lives for these lies.
