On CNN right now,the Administration cherry picked worst case intel.
Edited on Sun Jun-18-06 10:22 PM by Swede
For their case for war. The program is called Dead Wrong. Wow, 65,000 pages of intel and not one verifiable link between Saddam and 9/11. That's SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND pages of intel. The narrator said the White House had no noticeable reaction.

12. Did the WH approve this broadcast?
Just wondering because so far - it's making them all look like a bunch of liars, extremely eager to go to war regardless of the intelligence.

Bushco's not gonna be happy. :D

24. Isn't this a rerun?
I don't watch the tube much but seem to recall some threads about it a long time ago.

I guess CNN mixes in a light dose of actual journalism now & then as a sort of seasoning for the propaganda. Don't worry. This program will make no difference in the great scheme of things, and I can't imagine that it heralds anything in particular. It will be drowned out by the propaganda-as-usual programming that fills 99.53% of CNN's airtime.

28. This may be...
old news, but now Bushco's policies and criminal behavior are starting to kick not only those asleep at the wheel, but also his "base" in the ass. Seems to me a lot more people are paying attention to what's going on now as compared to even six months ago. Glad to see it on there, and hope there's more to come. About time the msm renewed their allegiance to the truth. Thanks.
