False Memory Syndrome
One of the reasons Bush/Cheney gave for their unlawful invasion of Iraq was a link between Saddam and the leader of the 9/11 atrocity, Mohammed Atta. They blathered on about a meeting between Atta and Iraqi intelligence in Prague in April 2001. Nobody, certainly not the 9/11 Commission, believes this tosh anymore. But compare these two extracts from TV interviews with Cheney. The first a few days ago, the other in April 2001.
" Let's go to Mohammed Atta... you have said in the past that it [the alleged Prague meeting] was quote "pretty well confirmed."
Cheney: "No I never said that."
Interviewer: "OK"
Cheney: "Never said that....absolutely not."
Now the 2001 interview with NBC's Tim Russert.
Cheney: "Well, what we have that's developed since you and I last talked, Tim, of course was that report that- it's been pretty well confirmed that he [Atta] did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia [sic] last April".
