What A Load of C***
Bob Woodward, the latest "journalist" to be caught having misled the public on behalf of the Bush Administration, has the audacity to try this on us:
Conspiracy is, by its nature, determined from actions, not "evidence". All you need to get a public offical or officials for conspiracy is a pattern of public behavior on the part of more than one individual which differs from their private behavior. In other words, if two or more officials are saying one thing in private and another in public--the same thing--that is, de facto, a conspiracy.
Any chance that's happened in regard to the supposed threat of the WMD in Iraq? Oh yeah--you betcha it has. And Woodward has probably heard quite a bit of it.
In the second place, why would anyone believe anything Woodward has to say on this subject?

No Conspiracy Evidence Seen in Leak Case, Journalist Says

Bob Woodward of The Washington Post said yesterday in a television interview that he had not seen any evidence that the Bush administration conspired to discredit Joseph C. Wilson IV, a former ambassador who had publicly criticized the administration's rationale for the war in Iraq.
"Was there some sort of conspiracy, or organized effort, or effort by one person to out, to disclose publicly that Joe Wilson's wife was an undercover operative?" Mr. Woodward said, according to a transcript of his taped appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live." "I haven't yet seen evidence of that."
