935 Lies

Here is the Center for Public Integrity's database cataloging the 935 lies that came out of the Bush Administration in the runup to Bush's stupid War in Iraq.

The top liars include George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz.

Dan Froomkin in the Washington Post reports:

Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith write in the report's overview: "Bush and the top officials of his administration have so far largely avoided the harsh, sustained glare of formal scrutiny about their personal responsibility for the litany of repeated, false statements in the run-up to the war in Iraq. There has been no congressional investigation, for example, into what exactly was going on inside the Bush White House in that period. Congressional oversight has focused almost entirely on the quality of the U.S. government's pre-war intelligence -- not the judgment, public statements, or public accountability of its highest officials. . . .

"Short of such review, this project provides a heretofore unavailable framework for examining how the U.S. war in Iraq came to pass. Clearly, it calls into question the repeated assertions of Bush administration officials that they were the unwitting victims of bad intelligence."
