A Strategy of Lies: How the White House Fed the Public a Steady Diet of Fa
http://www.earthisland.org/project/newsPage2.cfm?newsID=491&pageID=177&subSiteID=44

Bush administration officials are probably having second thoughts about their decision to play hardball with former US Ambassador Joseph Wilson. Joe Wilson is a contender. When you play hardball with Joe, you better be prepared to deal with some serious rebound.

After Wilson wrote a critically timed New York Times essay exposing as false George W. Bush's claim that Iraq had purchased uranium from Niger, high officials in the White House contacted several Washington reporters and leaked the news that Wilson's wife was a CIA agent.

Wilson isn't waiting for George W. Bush to hand over the perp. In mid-October, the former ambassador began passing copies of an embarrassing internal report to reporters across the US. The-Edge has received copies of this document.

The 56-page investigation was assembled by USAF Colonel (Ret.) Sam Gardiner. "Truth from These Podia: Summary of a Study of Strategic Influence, Perception Management, Strategic Information Warfare and Strategic Psychological Operations in Gulf II" identifies more than 50 stories about the Iraq war that were faked by government propaganda artists in a covert campaign to "market" the military invasion of Iraq.


Very interesting, complements everything else I've been reading.

1. I believe this Joseph Wilson will be speaking
at the UCF campus this Thursday afternoon. For anyone who is in the Central Florida area, you might want to come and listen.

Except there are powerful forces who will want to suppress it
