Democracy Now! Special - Debunking Cheney

In his first major televised interview in six months Vice President
Dick Cheney went on the offensive Sunday to justify the Bush
Administrations invasion of Iraq. In a lengthy interview on NBCs
"Meet the Press", Cheney portrayed Iraq as "the geographic base"
for the September 11th attacks. In attempting to sell the reasons
for the war against Baghdad, Cheney repeated many allegations about
Iraq that have been proven false over the past two years.

Today, we spent the hour dissecting some of the Vice President's
statements.

* Debunking Cheney Part 1: Cheney Claims Again Iraq Tried To Acquire
Uranium From Niger * We talk to Joseph Wilson, the former U.S.
Ambassador to Iraq who traveled to Niger on a CIA-sponsored trip
and found no link between Iraq and Niger. Wilson also talks about
who in the Bush administration illegally outted his wife to be an
alleged covert CIA operative.  [Includes transcript]

influential Saudis, including relatives of Osama Bin Laden, days

the story. [Includes transcript]

= = = = = = = = = = COMING UP ON DEMOCRACY NOW!  Wednesday, Sept.
16

Ex-CIA analysts Ray McGovern and David MacMichael accuse President
Bush of waging the Iraq war based on a series of lies. McGovern,
who gave daily briefings to the first President Bush for over two
years, recalls how the neo-conservatives in the current administration,
including Paul Wolfowitz, were viewed as the "crazies" by the first
Bush administration. They discuss the unprecedented pressure that
VP Dick Cheney put on the CIA before the invasion. And they call
on CIA analysts and agents to come forward with information that
will reveal the lies of the Bush administration.
