Elected President Bush Assassination Attempt: Urban Legend
Have you read "A Case Not Closed" by Seymour Hersh? His New Yorker article refutes the Urban Legend that Saddam Hussein tried to assassinate the elected President Bush.
"Cooked" intelligence, Neocons, leaks, the article is from '93 but reads like yesterdays news.

Two pilots who served their country at Dannelly Air National Guard base in Montgomery, Alabama and retired with ranks of lieutenant colonel and colonel said it was common knowledge that Bush never appeared at the base.
Something not much commented on is the odd occurrence that Bush friend James Bath lost his flying privilege a month to the day after Bush.
The CBC offers an interesting perspective on the Bush/Bath connection (.pdf).
Wayne Madsen on Bush/Bath/Bin Laden.
A Texas Observer article by Andrew Wheat on Bush/Bath/Bin Laden
More lengthy documentation of the connection by Tom Flocco.
Kean Insight: Bush, bin Laden, BCCI and the 9/11 Commission ties current events up some.
Maybe the Bush Absent Without Leave issue is hardly an issue at all, comparatively. It may be the tip of the iceburg.
I bet Helen Thomas would ask about this Bush/Bath/Bin Laden connection information. She is a real journalist, no Rather or Russert....

Robert Novak knew full well that "outing" CIA operative Valerie Plame was wrong.
Two government officials have told the FBI that conservative columnist Robert Novak was asked specifically not to publish the name of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame in his now-famous July 14 newspaper column. The two officials told investigators they warned Novak that by naming Plame he might potentially jeopardize her ability to engage in covert work, stymie ongoing intelligence operations, and jeopardize sensitive overseas sources.

The Kerry smear goes down in flames.
How far will the right go in playing "dirty"? Lacking substance I guess that is all they have to work with. And besides, as even the mainstream news is showing, lies are their stock in trade.
