...this report goes a step further, investigating "whether public statements and reports and testimony regarding Iraq by U.S. Government officials made between the Gulf War period and the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom were substantiated by intelligence information." In effect it's saying, words really do matter, especially when those words in question lead...
Livni is the most prominent member of Olmert's Kadima party to have urged that he step down. He has said he will stay on and fight to prove his innocence.

"We had to prove that this effort was going to make their job easier...
...doctors' resistance broke down, the technologists turned to patients, who also needed a little convincing. Placing exam-room computers on moving carts was an important early step, so that physicians didn't have to turn away from the patient to enter data into the terminal. This helped resolve a common patient complaint, that electronic records seem impersonal...
