Among the new revelations in tonight's documentary about how the Bush administration convinced the American people to go to war in Iraq are newly declassified talking points and handwritten notes from November, 2001 in which can be seen then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's team trying to find the most compelling reason to justify war.

Hubris co-author Michael Isikoff explains:

By late November, Rumsfeld was meeting with Gen. Tommy Franks, Centcom commander, to plot the “decapitation” of the Iraqi government, according to the now declassified talking points agenda from the sessions (shown on television for the first time in the documentary). The talking points suggest that Rumsfeld and his team were grappling with a tricky issue: “How [to] start?” the war. In other words, what would the pretext be? Various scenarios were outlined: “US discovers Saddam connection to Sept. 11 attack or to anthrax attacks?” reads one of them. “Dispute over WMD inspections?” reads another. “Start now thinking about inspection demands.”

More proof of what everyone already knew, an admin that makes Hoover and Buchanan look worthy of Mount Rushmore in comparison.

the idea of jus ad bellum is so old that the latins had a name for it. we know that rummy and co. had their reasons to go for years and spun it for the public at the perfect time. OLD NEWS

Yes but the question is, why are there no crime allegations or the like?

"jus ad bellum" has become "bellum omnium contra omnes".

Wow. I'm sure glad our government doesn't lie to us anymore....

This.
