now on Chris Hayes as the one person who knew everything that was going on. That means that even GWB wasn't in the loop. What kind of circus were we being subjected to back then? He also testified that Powell had asked him to take out any connections to Saddam for WMD's and then had to put it back in when they lied that one of the tortured detainees had said there were.

Honestly, we really need a war crimes tribunal ASAP.
