Liberal with the "facts"

Hans Blix says the Bush administration is "misquoting" his recent report to the UN Security Council. The LA Times reported yesterday that Bush's assertion of an Iraq/Al-Qaeda link was "murky." CIA officials are apparently "puzzled" about where he's coming up with the evidence to back up such a claim, because they don't have any.

In other words, the Bushies are back to their familiar game of distorting, exaggerating, and, yes, lying about Iraq, hoping that this information will scare people into accepting the need for a war.

Someone want to tell me why we should believe anything this administration says?

Update: The Guardian tries to assess how strong the Iraq/Al Qaeda link is.
