The Center for Public Integrity just released a scathing database study listing all the times a Bush administration officials made false statements about the threat from Iraq, WMDs and AlQaeda connections, during the time leading up to the Bush-bred invasion.
There are 945 entries that are available for the public to search. The CPI chairman Charles Lewis said the project took nearly two years to complete.
He stated "We examined from September 11th forward, tracking eight officials, including two White House press secretaries, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, the pResident and the Vice President. We looked at all their statements, interlaced them with various wonderful journalistic accounts, like Bob Drogin’s and others. We looked at government reports, Senate Intelligence Committee reports, the Duelfer Report—you name it— Whistleblower accounts, the most credible ones, Richard Clarke and many others. We wove it into the chronology, so you know what they’re saying at the time, and what they are discussing, hearing and thinking behind the scenes. It’s very useful, because then you get to put it all in context. "
This project could become the "deep throat" of this administration... only ironically it comes from the crooks themselves. Already news agencies, governmental offices and the international community are connecting the dots- when things were said and how they became embroidered into consensus. Its clear that they were the ones who manufactured the "intellegence" and then used everyone else's panic to justify their lies. As Lewis said "the public has never really seen all this woven together. Most people don’t make the connections, this database is a useful tool for the public to know. "
This all comes as the White House of cards seems to be collapsing amidst coverups and scandals. Last week officials admitted having lost more than 5 million emails and deliberately erasing backup and archive tapes. Karl Rove, still under investigation for the second laptop he used while acting as King George's "Merlin", magically lost all his email too! Even ex-Press Secretary Scott McClellon's got a book out next week that says that Cheney told him to lie about the WMD intelligence.
While it seems all the rats are abandoning ship, the only one still "fluffing" Bush is his pinup girl- press secretary Dana Perino, who's working overtime to give blondes a bad name. Take a watch of her "blond-ness" shining through in this press conference clip below, as she tries to do damage control only to be "punked" by CPI Chief Lewis- boooyaah!!!
