BushRecall.org Alert - New Report Details Bush Administration's Iraq Deceptions
 
3/19/2004
 
Normally news of a Bush administration deception on the issue of Iraq wouldn't 
be enough to warrant a BushRecall special alert - we'd clog your e-mail inbox 
faster than prescription drugs deals and inheritance offers from Nigerian 
royalty.
 
But this e-mail isn't regarding one misleading statement. It's regarding 237 of 
them.

That's the total number of deceptive statements regarding the Iraq War made by 
President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, 
Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, 
according to a new report compiled by the Democratic staff of the House 
Government Reform Committee and released Tuesday.
 
The report was completed at the request of Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), who said 
that the findings illustrated a "systematic distortion of the intelligence on 
Iraq," and indicated that the matter should be subject to further investigation.
 
Here's a brief excerpt:

"Because of the gravity of the subject and the President's unique access to 
classified information, members of Congress and the public should expect the 
President and his senior officials to take special care to be balanced and 
accurate in describing national security threats. It does not appear, however, 
that President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary 
Powell, and National Security Advisor Rice met this standard in the case of 
Iraq. To the contrary, these five officials repeatedly made misleading
statements about the threat posed by Iraq."
