Sand Toilets Of Mass Distraction

Brian Zick

Joby Warrick's report in WaPo has exposed the big Bush lie "We have found the weapons of mass destruction," in reference to two trailers which a still-classified field report identified as "the biggest sand toilets in the world." Georgia10 at dailykos has more on the story, including the news that Howard Dean has called for Bush to declassify the field report. Justin Rood at TPM Muckraker reports that the DoD (Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Feith) kept hyping the trailer lies too, ignoring their own report from the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency.
