Unveiling Bush's mass deceptions
http://www.madison.com/captimes/opinion/column/nichols/53695.php

The book's most important sections detail the administration's preparations for what White House aides referred to as the war's "product launch" last fall, and the propaganda techniques employed by the administration to successfully create the false impression that there was a link between Iraq's secularist Baath Party leadership and the fundamentalist al-Qaida network.

Good Article this is a book I must have!

Stauber and Rampton, the Madison-based debunkers of corporate spin, have written up their compelling case against the White House's "case" for war in an exceptional new book, "Weapons of Mass Deception: The Uses of Propaganda in Bush's War on Iraq" (Tarcher/Putnam).

2. Stauber and Rampton were on WPR yesterday morning
talking about their book. I was surprised to hear so many callers who agreed with their statements regarding weapons of mass deception.

Sounds like an excellent book. I'm putting it on my Amazon wish list today.

3. Great . . . how do we get 50 million Americans to read it?
I hope these guys do a strong media blitz to get their story out.
