George W. Bush isn’t Hitler; the latter at least managed to be a captivating public speaker—Bush doesn’t even have that much going for him.

Bush is the sort of person who is convinced he’s right despite the facts, not because of them. If need be, fabricate evidence to support your position because, after all, you’re right, and if the real evidence were in your possession, it’d obviously support your case anyway. This is Stephen Colbert’s “truthiness” in action.

So now we find out this:

Bush allegedly ordered the CIA to forge a handwritten letter from the head of Iraq’s intelligence service to Saddam Hussein that purported to link the Iraqi dictator to the ringleader of the hijackers who toppled the Twin Towers on 9/11, according to news accounts of Suskind’s new book, The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism. Such use of an intelligence service to influence domestic political debate could be an impeachable offense, Suskind writes.

The most frustrating thing is the stubborn insistence by some people that Bush & co. did what they thought was best, blah blah blah. So? Many people commit evil acts while believing they’re doing good. I’m sure the 9/11 hijackers were certain of their righteousness as they murdered thousands of people, too. How is Bush any better?
