In an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Senate intelligence committee chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kansas repeated the Saddam-refused-inspections lie:
"But, in regards to Saddam Hussein, if in fact he didn't have them, why on earth didn't he let the U.N. inspectors in and avoid the war? That is a real puzzlement to me."
This is the same senator who refuses to investigate the illegal warrantless spying on Americans by this president.
Blitzer, of course, let this slide by without challenge. (http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0401/25/le.00.html)
It should be noted that this press continues to carry water for this president even after the president attacks them for the bad news out of Iraq. Contemptible.
