Dropping yet another bomb

Commenting on the recent London Times article about the premature US bombing of Iraq prior to the war, Jeremy Scahill asks:

Why weren't these unprovoked and unauthorized attacks investigated when they were happening, when it might have had a real impact on the Administration's drive to war? Perhaps that's why the growing grassroots campaign to use the Downing Street memo to impeach Bush can't get a hearing on Capitol Hill. A real probing of this "smoking gun" would not be uncomfortable only for Republicans. The truth is that Bush, like President Bill Clinton before him, oversaw the longest sustained bombing campaign since Vietnam against a sovereign country with no international or US mandate. That gun is probably too hot for either party to touch.

I concur, but there's still a missing piece of the puzzle. One story that dovetails nicely with these revelations, but which I haven't heard too many people speaking about of late, is the Office of Special Plans. If we want to know how the administration went about "fixing" its case for war, somebody's going to have to start probing the Feith-led propaganda shop.

Of course, this will probably lead to even more unsavory details, notably the role Israel played in funneling bogus intelligence to the US. When linked to the ongoing AIPAC/Franklin investigation, such a revelation might also be "too hot for either party to touch."
