"The presumption now has to be that he's lying any time that he's saying anything."

'Such is an indication of the extraordinary depth of feeling within the US intelligence community as the Bush administration's basis for the war in Iraq - the weapons of mass destruction, the dark hint of links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qa'ida - has been shown to have been built on air.' - - the Independent.

Whore media bears some blame for Iraq war
'Misleading and incomplete reporting by major news outlets helped pResident Bush steer America into war with Iraq, speakers said Friday during the opening session of a three-day National Conference on Media Reform at UW-Madison.

'"This war could never have taken place without the complicity of the news media," said John Stauber, author and founder of the Center for Media and Democracy, a group that seeks to expose corporate and government propaganda campaigns. "The media that sold this war doesn't want to examine how they did it."' - - Scott Milfred, the Wisconsin State Journal.
