A political storm has broken out there in Washington DC. And it could blow in the face of George Bush and his untruthful ways.
Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has written a book. It is scheduled to be released next week.
Politico.com has commented on it today ... that President George W. Bush "veered terribly off course" and was not "open and forthright on Iraq,"
Also says Bush relied on "propaganda" to sell the war.
And the Washington press corps was too easy on the administration during the run-up to it.
McClellan also adds that after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans the White House "spent most of the first week in a state of denial." Very similar to a 'communist' country and Burma today.
According to the Web site, McClellan blames former Bush senior adviser Karl Rove for the photo of the president seen observing the disaster during an Air Force One flyover.
McClellan's 341-page book, titled "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception," takes a much harsher tone than White House officials had expected from the president's former aide, Politico reported.
McClellan is said to claim that Rove and Lewis "Scooter" Libby, a former aide to Vice President D'ick Cheney, misled him about their role in the CIA leak case. Libby was convicted last year on charges related to the investigation into who blew the cover of former CIA analyst Valerie Plame, whose husband was an outspoken Iraq war critic.
Did Lewis Libby serve his sentence or was a 'Presidential Pardon' was offered to short circuit the sentence???Lies, Lies, and more Lies

Of course part of the cure is in the slapping of a short leash on politicians.
Part of the short leash can be in relaxing Freedom of Information rules.
Whwere there is openness, there is greater accountibility and greater awareness among politicians of what they can get away with.
The more politicians realize that they cannot get away with 'stuff' the less likey they are to try it.
