Paul Wolfowitz, the influential United States deputy secretary of defense, has acknowledged that the evidence used to justify the war was “murky” and now says that weapons of mass destruction weren’t the crucial issue anyway (see the book by Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber, Weapons of Mass Deception: the uses of propaganda in Bush’s war on Iraq (2003.)
This is the best the author could do to prove dishonesty?
Read Strauss if you want to know what he taught. Contrary to much of the commentary I have read about him recently, the guy is not that inaccessible compared to many other contemporary philosophers. He wears his deep erudition quite lightly, he writes lucidly, and he makes his points with impressive cogency.
It is the project of a fool to think one can learn about Strauss from the postmodernist, far left theorist Drury, who wants to discard all normative thought and all reference to earlier thinkers in favor of ad hoc emphemeral guesses about how to construct the good society.
