Is Fraud a High Crime or Misdemeanor?

Is Fraud a High Crime or Misdemeanor?

by Jacob G. Hornberger, July 16, 2003

In claiming that 16 controversial words in his State of the Union address last January were technically correct, the president is implying that he didn't actually deceive -- or intend to deceive -- the American people.

Nothing could be further from the truth. While the president wants people to focus only on the technical wording of his carefully crafted sentence, he forgets what every lawyer in the country knows -- that actionable fraud consists not only of a false representation of a material fact but also of the intentional failure to disclose a material fact. And what could be more material than the CIA's conclusion that the entire Saddam-Niger-uranium connection was bogus?

...

Why would the president have included that sentence in his State of the Union speech? What would have been his intent?

The answer is inescapable: The president's intent was to terrify the American people into believing that Saddam Hussein had the means to explode a nuclear bomb over some American city — either now or in the immediate future. And who can deny that the president was successful in generating the mind-numbing fear that became a principal reason that Americans supported the invasion of Iraq?
