POPS More Bush secret torture memos The revelations show that the White House ignored critics of its policy and encouraged appointments of cooperative counsels at the Justice Department who could be relied on to stretch the law to give the president authority to ignore the Geneva Convention's ban on torture. There was opposition from both the State Department and the Justice Department. The State Department lawyer, William Taft IV, expressed alarm at the criminality of the practice of torture and the Bush administration's attempt to justify it.

He urged them to warn Bush that he would "be seen as a war criminal by the rest of the world".

On August 1st, 2005 the American Conservative reported that Cheney had tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan involved a massive air strike on Iran which included the use of nuclear weapons. The publication reported that, "The response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States," meaning that any such attack will immediately be blamed on Iran and any evidence to the contrary will be buried.

POPSThe twenty lies of George W. Bush #13 A classified State Department report described by the Los Angeles Times of March 14 not only concluded that a democratic Iraq was unlikely to arise from the devastation of war, it suggested that this was not even desirable from the standpoint of American interests, because “anti-American sentiment is so pervasive that elections in the short term could lead to the rise of Islamic-controlled governments hostile to the United States.”
