The investigation of White House involvement in possibly cooking the
intelligence hasn't even taken place yet. It is not scheduled until after
the election.

Therefore your conclusion that Bush didn't cook the intelligence and
therefore never lied is, shall we say, premature to put it mildly. You and
Gary B. are blatantly mischaracterizing what the Senate report says. Both
of you are as bereft of credibility as Bush.
