ANY group with a name that starts with “Center for...” usualy means Ralph Nader or one of his clones.

"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaida" when they finally got around to looking years later, after almost everything had been relocated out of the country.

"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaida," according to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith

...who evidently have never heard of Halabja or Ansar al-Islam. I don't think this study need be taken very seriously.

We've seen much less of this story since Saddam Hussein was hanged.

Guess his daughter cut back on the subsidy checks to his supporters preferring to keep the family forture for the future.

"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaida,"

Thus put it in perspective.
It is far from being "beyond dispute" on both accounts.
Russia knows where the WMDs are.

How many “false” statements from the Clinton administration on Iraq’s WMD and ties to terrorist? Must have been a lot since in 1998 the congress voted for regime change and even before then Clinton bombed Iraq not to mention the countless times Saddam fired at our jets patrolling the NFZs.

Ooooooo. These are non-profit journalist organizations. Why, that must mean they are beyond reproach. There’s no possibility that left-wing ideological bias (code for “outright lying”) could be their modus operandi. I love how this is considered “breaking news” on all the search engine websites. Nope. No bias there. /sarcasm/

[crazyhorse691]

. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them

Iraq DID have WMDs...just ask the Kurds and the Iranians.

These people are so shameless in their attempts to influence politics with BS “polls” and “studies.” This ranks up there with the Lancet story

[BallyBill]

I’m waiting for the independent “Ministry of Sillywalks” report before I take any of this serious.

1999 VIDEO: ABC News Report Linking Saddam Hussein And Osama Bin Laden

Public opinion must have topped 50% for the war and now the “Independent Journalist” have to try and drive it back down.

Of course when you check your mail on Yahoo this is one of their main headlines.

Did this study also track the false statements by Bill Clinton, UN delegates and intelligence reports dating back to the mid nineties?

[MNnice]

Then there's this.

Be sure to share this with your liberal friends.

Bookmarked. Good thread. Great for references.

A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements..."nonprofit", not to be confused with "nonpartisan".......
