- 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.
