Here's what seems to be a serious attempt to cut through the political spin to get to some substantive answers about an important topic: did Bush in fact lie about the imminence of the threat from Iraq before our invasion. Some bloggers (Jonathan Schwarz and Sebastian Holsclaw) at Daniel Drezner's blog have picked this question up, and Drezner has agreed to referee. I'll list the links in order of the debate and Drezner follows up with his conclusions today sometime. I'll update things when it appears.
Part I: Sebastian Holsclaw
Part II: Jonathan Schwarz
Part III: Sebastian Holsclaw
Part IV: Jonathan Schwarz
Part V: Closing Arguments
Drezner's Ruling
UPDATE:
Meanwhile, Richard Perle says there is no doubt in US troop's minds: "You know, a lot of our guys in Iraq carry around pieces of the World Trade Center. The chattering classes are talking about the relationship between Saddam Hussein and 9/11. These guys are under no illusions. It’s all part of the same war."
