Bush's Waterboarding Admission Prompts Calls For Criminal Probe

Thursday, November 11, 2010


Defending his decision to attack and occupy Iraq, Bush makes the claim again that "everybody thought Saddam Hussein had WMD" and lists the nations (France, Germany, Japan, Israel, Russia, Egypt, Great Britain, etc.).  

Not that it would be relevant (because US policy and law prohibits 'preemptive war'), but here's the truth:

FACT:  Every nation that thought Saddam Hussein had WMD believed it because the US told them so.  And US intelligence told them so, not just based on faulty intelligence, but on evidence fabricated by the CIA.   


None of the interviewers, not Matt Lauer, not Oprah, have challenged Bush on that.   

If you want to make a difference, flood NBC and HARPO offices, with the facts of their failures.  

Stop patronizing mainstream media, and that includes Fox (Fox has a sizable liberal audience), and go to alternative sources like Amy Goodman, Laura Flanders, Matt Taibbi, Ezra Klein, Jeremy Scahill, Thom Hartmann, Glen Greenwald, Jane Hamsher, etc.  Elevate those journalists with your support and you will make them (and your perspectives) 'mainstream'.
