Re: New Conyers Report on the Imperial Bush Presidency (link)

A reader writes in:

God Bless John Conyers!!!

Where are those in power who would take a stand and do the Right Thing, in their nation’s hour of need? Unfortunately, it’s become our lawmaker’s political feeding time, turning a deaf ear and a blind eye in their hour of greed.

Another (one of several who seem to think WMD’s were found in Iraq and an Al Qaeda connection to Saddam proved) writes:

Nice to see you guys aren’t just blindly following Democrat talking points for stories…. Oh wait, you just ran your story based on Conyer’s conspiracy theories.

If you had an interest in finding the truth about Saddam’s al Qaeda links maybe you should just ask the captured al Qaeda members and Baathists…
