non-profit study into pre-Iraq War

Two non profit groups did a study counting the lies told by administration officials leading up to the invasion of Iraq... the total count is (appropriate drumroll if you will) 935 lies. So the age-old question of how many lies does it take to invade a country is answered with ninehundred thirty-five. There is so much to say on this, but nothing that everyone isn't already thinkings, so feel free to post if you'd like, but I doubt I have any unique analysis.

in the original link on the post, one of the comments read, "In other news: Water wet, sky blue." which mirrors my reaction as well, though it's good a study has finally been produced.

Whoa! 935 fucking lies, eh? I'm not really surprised to hear that.

Yea, old news. Just like the thing about Cheney's email being missing from lots of key days. The number of days of missing emails within the Bush administration amounted to something like 450, but I can't remember the total number of missing emails. It was absurd, to say the least. But yea, Water wet, sky blue. We all know about these guys and how lies and secrecy pervade the White House. Any why? A government by the people, for the people would have nothing to hide...
