How much did the Bush Administration want to invade Iraq? A lot. Now Ron Susskind (author of The One Percent Doctrine) alleges that they wanted to forge a backdated letter from the Iraqi Intelligence Service to Saddam Hussein "proving" that Mohammad Atta had trained for 9/11 in Iraq.
This isn't the first time allegations of this sort have appeared, of course. Remember that Bush once suggested to Tony Blair that a UN plane be sent over Iraqi airspace to be fired upon by US forces in order to claim that Iraq had attempted a shootdown.
Kevin Drum has the details.
