Fixing and Forging (antiwar)

Everything Kristof itemizes above had been "reported" – beginning in September 2002 – to exist in Iraq by Judith Miller of the New York Times.

Miller has since admitted that her reports – all of which turned out to be wrong – were based upon "intelligence" provided to her by Ahmed Chalabai. But Miller claims she got confirmation of that "intelligence" from various high-level Bush-Cheney administration officials.

We now know – from the Downing Street memos – that the Bush-Cheney White House and the Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz-Feith-Perle Pentagon had begun to fix the intelligence to justify a war against Iraq almost a year before the war officially began.

The White House Iraq Group was founded in September 2002 to promote support for the war against Iraq.

How?

Largely by providing fixed intelligence to Miller and other neo-crazy media sycophants, here and abroad.
