From Nashville City Paper, July 16, 2003:
“It is more and more clear, as former senior State Department official Greg Thielmann stated this week, that the Bush administration had a ‘faith-based policy’ on Iraq. They ‘believed’ Saddam was tied to bin Laden and still had weapons of mass destruction, so they manipulated or simply misstated the available evidence in order to make their case.”
