Just thought some of you might like to know....

THE LIES THAT LED TO WAR (Originally aired March 7)
Sunday June 24 at 11pm & Monday June 25 at 4am on CBC-TV

Since the US-led invasion four years ago, the fifth estate has covered Iraq and the war on terror from virtually every angle--the military, media, intellligence, politics--revealing aspects of the story that you didn't find anywhere else.

Now, as the White House warns about the latest threat in the region, this time from Iran, we go back to examine the deception, suspect intelligence, even lies that convinced the world of the rightness of targeting Saddam Hussein.

2. Good piece, but Hersh seems clueless as usual...

The PNAC bunch, "idealistic" believers in "democracy"? LOL. They don't even believe in democracy here.

These people may use "democracy" as a euphemism for states that are friendly and compliant to US business interests, because they sure as hell don't care about actual democracy. Idealistic my ass. There is no more cynical group of people on earth today.
