Drudge: Al Gore telegraphs his (girly) punch
2004-06-23
Just saw this on Drudge - looks like Al can’t read none too good:
AL GORE TO ACCUSE BUSH ADMINISTRATION OF INTENTIONAL DISTORTION ON IRAQ/AL QAEDA TIES IN DC SPEECH THURSDAY
Tue Jun 22 2004 17:28:24 ET
Washington, DC-- In a major Washington policy address this Thursday, former Vice President Al Gore will accuse the Bush Administration of intentionally misleading the American people by continuing to falsely claim a connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.

He will charge that Bush and Cheney have "institutionalized dishonesty as an essential element of their policy process."

Gore will also urge the broadcast media to further resist Administration efforts to manipulate and intimidate them, to fearlessly report the fact that there is no Al Qaeda/Saddam collaborative relationship, as the 9/11 Commission staff report has concluded.

Gore will also discuss the implications of the Administration’s claim to be above the law in ordering the torture of suspects - and their claim that the Commander in Chief’s power trumps all other laws. He will call for the Administration to reveal all orders given the military on the treatment of prisoners.

#5  Maybe I read that wrong, but . . . is he telling the media to fearlessly mislead the public?

Of course he is. He's a Democrat.

#4  Wait a minute, I thought there was one established, just not between Saddam and 9/11. Maybe I read that wrong, but . . . is he telling the media to fearlessly mislead the public?
