“It is not surprising to learn that during the Scooter Libby trial, Vice President Cheney's former communications aide, Catherine Martin, said that delivering a message on Meet the Press was a tactic we often use. By the way, within the last 10 minutes, Mr. Libby has been found guilty on four of five counts. The truth shall lead America. The truth is that the 9/11 Commission found no credible evidence of a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda and the attacks upon the United States. The epicenter of our war against terror is not Iraq but on the border of Pakistan and on the border of Afghanistan. The American people deserve the truth instead of deceptive tactics. And if this administration won't give the people the truth about this war, then this Congress will. He stated, Mr. Cheney, five separate occasions that Saddam Hussein was joined at the hip with bin Laden. He told the American people five times a lie and repeated it year after year on the same TV station. The epicenter of our war on terror is on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
