Bush Administration Targets O'Neill After Criticism Imagine that! Well, my take on the situation is that O'Neill is bordering on treason. Any officer of the government in that high of a position and has access to top secret documents needs to keep their mouth shut unless it's a matter of endangerment to the people. The White House's denial of the pre-conceived intent to oust Saddam is their business, it's not hurting anyone. And, I agree that the policy was formed before Bush was ever in office.

That's not to say I'm totally behind Bush. I just think O'Neill is on thin ice. A past member of the National Security Council should only come forward with information they are privy to if they are sure it's for the national good. I can't see how this is for the national good.
