Im still not too sure what point you are trying to make to be honest? Is it just that they said this stuff when they were in power? Duh. I doubt anyone here will deny that(and I certainly havent).
The point Im making, though, is that what one group stated back in the 90's doesnt constitute 'official' position and that to say 'well, they said it back in the 90's!', while pointing out hypocracy of their stance, doesnt automaticly mean they understood in great detail every justification laid out before them before even reading the 'official' justifications reports prior to the vote to give the president power. So, are they a bunch of hypocrits? Yes, but there cant be any claim that anyone outside of those directly involved in building the case would know the ins and out of the justifications used without reading it.
