Aloha,

The President took the nation to war based on his assertion that Iraq
posed an imminent threat to our country.  Now the evidence that
backed that assertion is falling apart.

If the Bush administration distorted intelligence or knowingly used
false data to support the call to war, it would be an unprecedented
deception.  Even if weapons are now found, it'll be difficult to
justify pre-war language that indicated that the exact location of the
weapons was known and that they were ready to deploy at a moment's
notice.  With a crisis of credibility brewing abroad and the integrity
of our President and our foreign policy on the line, we need answers
now.

Rep. Henry Waxman has introduced legislation to create an independent
commission to investigate the Bush administration's distortion of 
evidence.  Please ask your Representative to pledge his or her support 
at:

A President may make no more important decision than whether or not to
take a country to war.  If Bush and his officials deceived the American
public to create support for the Iraq war, they need to be held
accountable.  

Thanks.
