Bolton mistakenly denied being interviewed in investigation, State Departm

WASHINGTON — John Bolton, President Bush's nominee for U.N. ambassador, neglected to tell Congress he had been interviewed in a government investigation into faulty prewar intelligence that Iraq was seeking nuclear materials in Africa, the State Department said.

Democratic senators said the admission should forestall Bush from using his authority to give Bolton a temporary appointment to the U.N. post, without Senate confirmation, when the Senate goes on vacation in August.

Bolton was interviewed by the State Department inspector general in 2003 as part of a joint investigation with the CIA into prewar Iraqi attempts to buy nuclear materials from Niger, State Department spokesman Noel Clay said Thursday.

His statement came hours after another State Department official said Bolton had correctly answered a Senate questionnaire when he wrote that he had not testified to a grand jury or been interviewed by investigators in any inquiry over the past five years.

Being called to testify before a Grand Jury isn't something that is easy to forget? Especially in such a major case has this one. It is apparent that Bolton can not be trusted, who is will to do and say anything to protect this misadminstration.

BTW: Isn't lying under oath a crime?

I mean come on - how the hell do you "forget" you were called infront of a grand jury? Unless you were like soooo wasted dude. I mean for real some one's painted my moustache white.
