Submitted by John Stauber [2] on
The Center for Public Integrity [3] "has released the first analysis of its kind, Iraq – The War Card: Orchestrated Deception on the Path to War [4] ... identifying 935 false statements by eight top administration officials that mentioned Iraq [5]’s possession of weapons of mass destruction, or links to Al Qaeda [6], on at least 532 separate occasions. The false statements included in the analysis were made by President Bush [7], Vice President Dick Cheney [8], Secretary of State Colin Powell [9], National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice [10], Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld [11], Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz [12], and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer [13] and Scott McClellan [14]." 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 [15].
