Ex post facto, part 2

I'm glad to see that my spidey-senses did not deceive me the past few years:

A highly classified British memo, leaked in the midst of Britain's just-concluded election campaign, indicates that President Bush decided to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by summer 2002 and was determined to ensure that U.S. intelligence data supported his policy....

...The memo said "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy..."

...A former senior U.S. official called it "an absolutely accurate description of what transpired" during the senior British intelligence officer's visit to Washington. He spoke on condition of anonymity.

The Bush administration has taught us all a valuable lesson; namely, that it doesn't matter what batshit-insane thing you want to do, as long as you can justify it after the fact. In fact, the media will never call you on your original deception!
