Do We Care About Lies? - An Excellent article
by Clay Evans of The Daily Camera, Colorado.

Common Dreams has posted it in it's entirety (Daily Camera requires registration):
http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0515-26.htm

Excerpts:

They came to the Daily Camera editorial board in early autumn 2002, as our leaders in Washington were fueling fears that a small, oil-rich Arab nation run by one of America's former "sons of bitches" posed an imminent — yes, they used that word — threat to America. <snip>

Nearly three years later, their predictions have proved correct, while the cocky pronouncements of our leaders have been almost uniformly wrong. A bunch of peaceniks in Boulder — along with millions of sensible grandmothers and teens, liberals and conservatives around the nation — knew better than the best minds of the world's only superpower. How can that be? <snip>

And now we have the memo to prove it. In a story that remains little known on our side of the pond, the London Times published a top-secret memo from a foreign policy aide to British cabinet officials that reveals that the war was already set in motion by July 2002.


Excellent read that I recommend to all.

Drip. Drip. Drip.
