Why is Newsweek held to a higher standard than the * WH?
Why aren't the Bush fascists resigning in droves over the Iraq Lies?

6. Newsweek didn't lie
about going to war.

Newsweek didn't lie in the SOTU.

Newsweek didn't lie to the UN...

7. This is why we should ignore the whackos
when they get all up in arms about something we did or said. There should never be an apology from us to them. Newsweek has no cajones, just like the rest of the corporate republican media

8. When will the media demand BUSH retract these lies????
Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent. In such quantities, these chemical agents could also kill untold thousands. He's not accounted for these materials. He has given no evidence that he has destroyed them.

U.S. intelligence indicates that Saddam Hussein had upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents. Inspectors recently turned up 16 of them, despite Iraq's recent declaration denying their existence. Saddam Hussein has not accounted for the remaining 29,984 of these prohibited munitions. He has given no evidence that he has destroyed them.

From three Iraqi defectors we know that Iraq, in the late 1990s, had several mobile biological weapons labs. These are designed to produce germ warfare agents and can be moved from place to a place to evade inspectors. Saddam Hussein has not disclosed these facilities. He has given no evidence that he has destroyed them.

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, had a design for a nuclear weapon and was working on five different methods of enriching uranium for a bomb.

The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.

Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production.

10. From CNN's front page
I grabbed this from CNN's front page before it disappears. Nice picture, eh? Any of you Photoshop experts care to comment?


Muslims in India get their message across.

(I am posting this picture / question in all Newsweek threads.)

What is the matter with them...have they not been shown again and agiain what happens to those who speak the truth? This is just another case of putting the truth in media in its place...and that is to not cover the truth...if you want to survive on this planet.
