The Lie of the Century

Basically the situation is this: The Bush administration lied to its people and congress in order to launch an illegal war against a nation that was absolutely NOT posing a clear and present danger to the USA. All the evidence reaching the media since 2002 proves this to be correct. The only problem is this: the US corporate media has been involved in a concerted and far-reaching operation to obfuscate and bury this evidence in such a way that the american public does not realise the gravity of the crime that has been committed by the executive branch of its government. Don't believe that the media is responsible for this? Consider the Downing Street Memo scandal. In Europe it was front page news as soon as it leaked out. The reason: the memo, which was acknowledged as being authentic by the UK government, reported that the Bush administration had already decided to go to war in 2002 and needed to fix the intelligence in order to support the decision. Reason enough for a front page spread you would think. Especially in the country of the government in question, the USA. But it is precisely in America that the public has been kept away from this story. And, more significantly, not just by Fox News, but by ALL the major media outlets, including the Washington Post, The New York Times and the 3 major television networks.

"Right now, we have the criminals at hand. and, while other leaders in history have lied to start wars, for the first time in history, the lie stands exposed while the war started with the lies still rages on, to the death and detriment of our young men and women in uniform.....Lying to start a war is more than an impeachable offence; it the highest possible crime a government can commit against their own people. Lying to start a war is not only misappropriation of the nation's military and the nation's money under false pretenses, but it is outright murder committed on a massive scale."

So what can we do? Actually lots. Starting right here...
