Former vice president Al Gore finished a two-year series of policy
addresses yesterday by accusing President Bush of deliberately
suppressing information about Iraq that would have undermined his case
for war. Gore said that he had previously resisted saying Bush
intentionally deceived the public in the run-up to the invasion but
that the evidence now shows "that in virtually every case the president
chose to ignore -- and indeed often to suppress -- studies, reports,
information, facts, that were directly contrary to the false
impressions he was in the process of giving to the American people."
Echoing a campaign theme of Democratic nominee John F. Kerry, Gore told
about 700 students and activists at Georgetown University that Bush is
"arrogantly out of touch with reality." [more ]
