"It has long been evident that President Bush decided to invade Iraq first, and constructed his ramshackle case for the war after the fact."

It has also long been evident that your paper, ie. your editorial board,
decided to pursue this war without any evidence of its necessity. I
have mentioned it before and I will continue to do so: you owe it to
the public and to yourselves and to your god to remind your readers of
your own culpability in getting us into this useless war on the evidence
which you now impugn so regularly. Have you no shame?
