Another Campaign of Misinformation

A week ago or so an independent organization published a report that in a nutshell showed how "made at least 935 false statements in the two years following September 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq" (see the full article) and how they "waged a carefully orchestrated campaign of misinformation". When I read it I was stunned on how an administration can pull something like this and not only have American's fooled but the whole world. It's things like this that remind us "we really won the cold war" and how America is unchallenged. The article suggests at the end that it remains for us to answer these familiar questions "What did they know, and when did they know it?".
Imagine having read such report and then seeing this story and the actual 60 Minutes where an FBI agent who reported directly to Bush said "It was very important for him to project [that Iraq possessed WMD] because that was what kept him, in his mind, in power. That capability kept the Iranians away. It kept them from reinvading Iraq". It makes you wonder why such wordings made it to CNN's front page and if we are already in the middle of another campaign of misinformation about the threat of Iran.
