"Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War"
That's the name of a new TV documentary by Robert Greenwald, which is now being distributed in the US. The show featues denunciations by two dozen interviewees, including a former director of the CIA, two former assistant secretaries of defence, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia and even the man who served as President Bush's Secretary of the Army until just a few months ago. All agree on one thing - Bush lied.
As the UK Independent explains, "an unprecedented array of US intelligence professionals, diplomats and former Pentagon officials have gone on record to lambast the Bush administration for its distortion of the case for war against Iraq. "
For example, Mel Goodman, a former CIA analyst who now teaches at the National War College, says: "There was never a clear and present danger. There was never an imminent threat. Iraq - and we have very good intelligence on this - was never part of the picture of terrorism."
Veteran CIA analyst Ray McGovern argues that the traditional role of the CIA has been "prostituted" and the CIA may never be the same. "Where is Bush going to turn to now? Where is his reliable source of information now Iraq is spinning out of control? He's frittered that away. And the profound indignity is that he probably doesn't even realise it."
Hmmn, lying to the US public. Isn't that an impeachment offence???
