A TRIBUTE TO SOME NATIONAL HEROES

The Smirking Chimp directs us to this tribute to some real national heroes. Read the whole thing. Excerpt:

While our president rushed us into an unnecessary war, many people around our nation worked to expose the truth about what was to come in Iraq--citizens of great character,and a deep love of our nation. It is a long, long list of citizens, some that have risked their careers, and even their lives, in order to tell the truth about the Bush Administration's catastrophic rush into war in the Middle East. Real Heroes.

Thank you, Scott Ritter--the weapons inspector who knew there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He looked in every nook and cranny of that country, and as one of Bush's own men, said there was nothing to be found. His own boss would not believe him.

Thank you, Ambassador Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame: I'm sorry I even know your names--a husband/career diplomat married to a wife/CIA agent whose secret identity was carelessly and criminally released to the public, because her husband would not falsely report that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy the materials necessary to make phony nuclear weapons. Someone in the White House released her identity, and hopefully the truth will be told.
