Jon Stewart Interviews Ron Suskind and the Bush Iraq War Forgery

In his new book "The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism" Ron Suskind tells the story of the Bush Administration in 2003 – after no WMDs were found or any evidence of Saddam helping the 911 terrorists – luckily finding a 2001 handwritten letter by Saddam’s Intelligence Chief, Tahir Jalil Habbush admitting that 911 leader Mohamed Atta was trained in Iraq and that Iraq went to Niger for yellow cake uranium, i.e., proof of Saddam’s Iraqs nuclear WMDs and responsibility for 911. Turns out the letter that supposedly redeemed the Bush Administration was a forgery. That it was a forgery is really not at issue, but whether as Suskind seems to have proof of, that VP Dick Cheney asked that such a letter be produced and that CIA Directory George Tenet provided it.  The Forged Iraqi Letter: What Just Happened?
