Tonight on the Daily Show they had a feature exposing Bush Administration lies. They've done this before, but this was a particularly good one. First, they showed an interview that took place a day or two ago with Cheney--I think it was a CNBC interviewer.

Cheney said that, even though the 9/11 commission had found that there was no working relationship between the Iraqi Government and Al Qaeda, this was not at odds with the administration. The administration had never claimed they were allies, merely that they had had "contacts." Cut to Bush on the Aircraft Carrier saying "we have defeated Iraq, we have removed an ally of Al Qaeda."

Back to the Cheney interview. The interviewer points out that Cheney had spread a story about Mohammed Atta, one of the 9/11 terrorists, and an Iraqi embassy official meeting in Prague, an event which the 9/11 commission now says never happened (and which Vaclav Havel AND the CIA have been saying all along never happened, since Atta was in Virginia Beach at the time).

"I never claimed that had happened," Cheney lied.

"I believe you said it was fairly certain," the interviewer said.

"I never said that," Cheney lied.

Cut to an old interview, where Cheney says,

"It's fairly certain that Mohamed Atta met with an Iraqi official in Prague."

It was pretty nice to see the liars exposed once again.

And hey, I can't wait for the blustery outraged conservative responses!
