We need a full investigation as to facts to be tried in Congress. Very simple: if there was conspiracy, the conspirators (all of them from the top down to their cohorts in BigOil) need to be exposed for what they are and punished for what they did.

As to punishment I like beneficial solutions. Freeze assets of the conspirators and impose heavy heavy HEAVY fines and some jail time.

I'm with Rev Dave– Cheney and Libby camped out at the CIA and cherry-picked evidence-no matter how unreliable, and even had it forged when necessary. They harassed analysts to give them the conclusions that would scare us into war with Iraq.

The source of the term is a quotation in an October 17, 2004, New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush:

The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That's not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued.

“We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”[1]

Yes, Colin Powell was “taken aback” and then went and took all of that BS “evidence” and played it like a true drama queen in front of the UN. They lied, they knew they were lying, and they are STILL lying. 55 days cannot pass fast enough.
