For more information...

FactCheck.Org, a creation of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, often has interesting independent analyses of national politics in the news.
Some of the more recent posts include:
Liberal Ad Against Alito: True As Far As It Goes and Iraq: What Did Congress Know, and When?
Now, as any good reporter will tell you, double-check any piece of information, and FactCheck doesn't consider itself to be the end-all of reporting. There often are links to other sites and documents, giving more information on a topic.
I read the Iraq piece, and I am further convinced Pres. Bush snowed Congress and the country.
The president is privy to a daily intelligence report with more information than was ever disseminated in Congress, yet he insists lawmakers new what he knew.
Given Bush's penchant for appointing buddies to high-ranking administrative positions, why should we believe there wasn't an "understanding" of the president's motives by the people reporting to him?
If Pres. Bush wants to convince Americans that he went to Iraq with the best of intentions and not a capitalist agenda, then he'd better convince us he's finally listening to what we have to say about how OUR government works.
