On the recordNovember 17, 2003
I cannot agree more. Ironically, in this week's edition of Newsweek magazine, there is an article that I would commend to all of our colleagues here in the House and to the viewing audience here tonight. This is very important to read. As one can see, there is a picture of the Vice President on the cover. It is entitled, ``How Dick Cheney Sold the War. Why He Fell for Bad Intelligence and Pitched It to the President.'' The Central Intelligence Agency, I daresay, made a solid effort from what information now appears to be back in the public domain. I think it is safe to conclude that key players led by the Vice President, supported by Secretary Rumsfeld, and Under Secretary Wolfowitz, and Under Secretary Fife, cherry-picked, if you will, those pieces of information that buttress their case and made unequivocal statement to the American people. It was that group that was doing the cherry-picking. It was that group that got us into this war.
