perfidy

Calpundit points to a story that suggests Bush knew the Nigerian Uranium story was bogus from the start yet chose to use it as evidence anyway. Like Calpundit, "I'm not sure how seriously to take this," but if, if this is so, it's awfully damning.

It's one thing to overplay your hand on thin evidence, or ignore the caution of the experts, which is what I think the President probably did. It would be another thing for the President's people to have made up evidence against Iraq as it suits them. I'll be watching this-- I want to know which thing really happened. Bad news either way, but much, much worse if this new development turns out to be credible.
