Billmon: Fools and Liars

I'd call them crooks and liars, but that brand name is already taken:

A year after Bush administration claims about Iraqi ''bioweapons trailers'' were discredited by American experts, U.S. officials were still suppressing the findings, according to a senior member of the CIA-led inspection team.

At one point, former U.N. arms inspector Rod Barton says, a CIA officer told him it was ''politically not possible'' to report that the White House claims were untrue. In the end, Barton says, he felt ''complicit in deceit.''

This is hardly the first time the Cheney Adminstration's culpability -- not to mention legal liability -- in the case of the mythical mobile bioweapons labs has been aired in public.
