No, you didn't have all the facts out, and even the ones out were misstated. The trip was already organized when the charity offered to pay for the plane tickets. The charity was vetted by the US gov't. The trip was vetted by the US gov't. When McDermott et al went to Baghdad they met with Iraqi officals, so it's not like this is any more controversial in 2008 than in 2002. Perhaps less, seeing that they were right, there were no WMDs, the war was an error, etc.
Besides, this is all taken from the indictment, which means the government (Bush administration) gets to say whatever they want to say.
And wasn't the administration being lobbied by groups wanting to overthrow the government, as opposed to keeping it in place? Huangdi (talk) 21:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
