Note to self: Remember to not forget WMDs. Investigating this - TopicsExpress



          

Note to self: Remember to not forget WMDs. Investigating this tale of dishonesty by those in power and acquiescence on the part of those charged with reporting the truth has been a disheartening experience for me. Even more sobering, however, is the fact that the Iraq War deception, with its 935 public, shameless lies, is simply the latest and most egregious story of truth betrayed that I’ve witnessed or reported on over the past five decades. My career in journalism has coincided with a tragic period in American history — one in which falsehood has increasingly come to dominate our public discourse, and in which the bedrock values of honesty, transparency, accountability and integrity we once took for granted have been steadily eroded. billmoyers/2014/06/27/the-lies-we-believed-and-still-believe-about-iraq/
