Book Claims CIA Forged Ties Between Hussein, 9/11
 Tuesday, August 5th, 2008  by Connie T.

Author Ron Suskind has released a book called "The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism," which accuses the White House of ordering the CIA to forge a letter to tie together Saddam Hussein and the attacks of September 11th, 2001.

Suskind claims the head of the Near East Division, Rob Richard, and others "right in the thick of this operation" relayed to him an order that former CIA director George Tenet gave to senior CIA operators.

The book also alleges that both the CIA and the Bush administration--including the President himself--were told by inside sources that Iraq did not have any weapons of mass destruction.

Ron Suskind has won a Pulitzer Prize for writing, and is a former Wall Street Journal reporter.

From the author's website:

For anyone hoping to exercise truly informed consent and begin the process of restoring the values and hope - along with the moral clarity and earned optimism - at the heart of American tradition, The Way of the World is a must-read.

Think it will get blacklisted like "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder" supposedly did? So far it's getting some so-so coverage...although, notice, it's mostly from bloggers, publicly funded outlets, and international papers.
