In the course of convicting Libby of one set of crimes, the details of a much bigger crime — the fraudulent and misleading run up to the Iraq war — were partially revealed. We now know not only that Hussein’s ability to strike the US was fabricated, but that those lies were founded on forged documents. We now know that Cheney and Libby strong-armed the CIA to give it the false assumptions the White House wanted to attack Iraq. And we now know that Bush’s right-hand political man, Karl Rove, was involved in the plot to deceive the nation into going to war. In our book, that makes Cheney and Rove unindicted co-conspirators. What’s that make Bush? The criminal in chief.
