Rosebud #209



Read Dan Froomkin’s “935 Iraq Falsehoods” in the Washington Post on January 23, 2008. See:

The piece, about a study by the Center for Public Integrity, brings home how the Bush administration lied us into war and how the American media went along with it. See the full study here:

“Following 9/11, President Bush and seven top officials of his administration waged a carefully orchestrated campaign of misinformation about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein’s Iraq,” write Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith in the study, called "False Pretenses."

We know this already; yes. It’s even more important to review and get mad all over again now, in this election year, when so much is at stake: candidates who want to get us out of this war, and candidates who don’t.
