No matter the denials and claims of “wild speculation” by the White House, we should all be worried.
The New Yorker: THE IRAN PLANS
Would President Bush go to war to stop Tehran from getting the bomb? by SEYMOUR M. HERSH ... A senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, who did not take part in the meetings but has discussed their content with his colleagues, told me that there had been “no formal briefings,” because “they’re reluctant to brief the minority. They’re doing the Senate, somewhat selectively.” ... “There’s no pressure from Congress” not to take military action, the House member added. “The only political pressure is from the guys who want to do it.” Speaking of President Bush, the House member said, “The most worrisome thing is that this guy has a messianic vision.”
Which Congressman on the House Appropriations Committee (listed in order of seniority at this link) would discuss this with Mr. Hersh? Have to check into that soon. Could be a Republican, but probably a Democrat (like Murtha, for instance).
