Let's float above the politics and our own internal divisions for a moment.

We knew all this shit that is being projectile vomited from the darker vestibules guarding the darkest corners of the darkest rooms of our government.

We KNEW they were trying to gin up a connection between Saddam and bin Ladin. We KNEW they were torturing. We KNEW that the ignoramii found guilty of crimes at Abu Ghraib were scapegoats. We KNEW this shit went straight up the line to the inner circle of the White House.

We may not have known some of the finer details, but we knew.

If you have any seniority on DU, you knew.

We knew.

And we will NOT be silent. We've NEVER been silent.

We KNEW.
