Are US intelligence agencies trying to influence the US election?


You remember yesterday when Rick Santorum and another House member were trying to con the country into believing we found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and we didn't. Well, now we know that the report Santorum and the House member based their lie on came from the George Bush's top spy, National Intelligence Director John Negroponte.

Why Bush's top intelligence guy chose this week, right in the middle of a congressional Iraq debate intended to help the Republicans in this fall's elections, to release this "news" that we supposedly found WMD in Iraq, is anyone's guess. But it sure smacks of an attempt by the US intelligence community to influence the US domestic elections in favor of the Republcans, and that is an incredible breach of trust and law.
