The truth leaks out (Tenet admits disputing Iraq claims)

[joeunderdog]

ONE YEAR LATER, the lies that led to the war in Iraq are coming unraveled. Last week, even CIA Director George Tenet admitted that he had privately disputed public statements made by top government officials who had twisted intelligence reports.

By the time the war began, the government's Big Lie had turned into conventional wisdom. Much of the American media, according to a study by the Center for International Security Studies at Maryland, amplified administration assertions and failed to critically analyze how officials "framed the events, issues, threats and policy options."

Now, as the one-year anniversary of the war approaches, the shelves in American bookstores groan under the weight of tomes that describe the deception that led to war in Iraq. The titles, to name just a few -- "The Price of Loyalty;" "Weapons of Mass Deception;" "Big Lies;" "The Lies of George W. Bush;" and "The Five Biggest Lies Bush Told Us About Iraq" -- reflect the president's growing credibility gap.

To these, add "Disarming Iraq," written by Hans Blix, the former U.N. weapons inspector, who says the war was illegal and criticizes the Bush administration for failing to allow his team to verify if Iraqi WMDs actually existed.
