Help! Need links to articles on how pre-war intelligence was twisted

[kayleybeth]

Hi, I need some reference articles on how shrub & co. twisted the pre-war intelligence to make their case for war on Iraq (if possible, articles from mainstream news sources- I'm dealing with a dittohead who shrugs off anything from a left-leaning site). Does anyone have some links readily available? I'm not being lazy, just in a bit of a hurry and don't have time to slog through pages and pages of google hits. Thanks in advance!

2. Try here...

I set up www.whoslying.org for just this reason. You can find the lie you want, and it has a link and cite to a mainstream article on the subject.

Try here: http://www.whoslying.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=26

But the best by far is washingtonpost.com. Just do a search and go through their stories, since they have done by far the best reporting on the twisting of the records.

(the original version is linked at the top)

This one is from the Guardian:

Taken together, that's pretty much the whole story.

4. Here's a good one.

Check out the Rumsfeld statement. "Immediate threat" straight from the horse's mouth.

7. Don't miss this analysis by a retired USAF colonel

"Truth from these Podia," by Sam Gardiner, October 8, 2003

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/politics/whispers/documents/truth_1.pdf

and four other sections at the same location, just substitute 2 etc. for 1 in the URL. Note mainstream location (and it's still there!).

This analysis is from someone who understands propaganda.
