Or also a modern day tale of "The Emperor has no Clothes" as told by Ray McGovern

Note: On Jan. 26, 2009, in Copenhagen, Denmark, former Danish military intelligence officer Frank Grevil was given the Sam Adams award for integrity in intelligence. The following is an extended version of the introductory remarks by former CIA intelligence analyst Ray McGovern.

Now, in truth, as they held up the supposed raiment, there was nothing there at all. But the swindlers were very clever. They told the king -- or was it the prime minister? -- that this was a magic suit and only a wise man would recognize this. But, to a fool the suit would be invisible.

Most important, they said the suit was distinctive for its so-called "weapons of mass destruction," and that if the king were a wise man he could readily see them in the fine fabric woven by clothier Bush Blair Rumsfeld Ltd.

The day for the rehearsal came, and the streets were lined with thousands and thousands of people. They had heard the story of the magic suit and wished to see it -- and appear wise -- like the king. And so they all were cheering like mad. That is, all but one fellow named Frank Grevil.

Now, it is understood that no one wants to appear completely out of step -- and particularly not at a celebratory parade. And so Major Grevil strained his eyes and directed his considerable analytical skills toward the king in his "magic suit"... and was shocked.
Grevil shouted:

"Look at the king! The king is in the altogether, he's altogether as naked as the day that he was born.

"The king is in the altogether; it's altogether the very least the king has ever worn!

"Call the court physician; call an intermission. The king is wide open to ridicule and scorn!

"The king is in the altogether, and it's altogether too chilly a morn."

The disruption caused by this burst of honesty was most unwelcome. You see, everyone but Grevil -- whether nobles like Sir Tony of Blair or commoners -- had their own reasons for going along with the king and pretending to see the WMD. And so they did.

2. I highly recommend the book DISSENT

Dissent: Voices of Conscience
Government Insiders Speak Out Against the War in Iraq
by Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright and Susan Dixon
Foreward by Daniel Ellsberg

When the actions of government become dangerous to the security of the nation, it takes a special courage for men and women inside the government to speak out. If we care about keeping democracy alive, we must welcome this book. "
—Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of the U.S.

During the run-up to war in Iraq, Army Colonel (Ret.) and diplomat Ann Wright resigned her State Department post. She was one among dozens of government insiders and active-duty military personnel who leaked documents, spoke out, resigned, or refused to deploy in protest of government actions they felt were illegal. In Dissent: Voices of Conscience, Ann Wright and Susan Dixon tell the stories of these men and women, who risked careers, reputations, and even freedom out of loyalty to the Constitution and the rule of law.
