The Center for Public Integrity "has released the first analysis of its kind, Iraq – The War Card: Orchestrated Deception on the Path to War ... identifying 935 false statements by eight top administration officials that mentioned Iraq’s possession of weapons of mass destruction, or links to Al Qaeda, on at least 532 separate occasions. The false statements included in the analysis were made by President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan." In July, 2003, the Center for Media and Democracy wrote the first book detailing the Bush propaganda campaign that lied the US into war, Weapons of Mass Deception.
