WE TOLD THE TRUTH –
BUT WILL THE LIARS PREVAIL?

"Under the constraints of the embargo, and the most intrusive and comprehensive industrial surveillance system ever instituted, we are asked to believe that, somehow, Iraq managed to not only maintain but expand its covert weapons program. Yet not one scintilla of evidence exists to support this conclusion."

~ Antiwar.com editorial comment, June 1998

We told our readers long before Day One that the War Party was intent on lying us into war, and we clearly foresaw the consequences. That same long-ago editorial goes on to say: "The approach of Gulf War II is ominous indeed. For what it promises is the dismemberment and division of Iraq, the permanent U.S. occupation of the Iraqi oilfields – and a leap into a morass from which there will be no extrication."

They lied us into war in Iraq, and they're getting ready to do it again. But the power of lies is receding with the advent of the Information Age. The War Party didn't reckon on the power of technology in exposing and debunking a campaign based on tall tales, unchallenged suppositions, and outright forgeries.

War propaganda is harder to pull off in these days because the Internet is a wonderful weapon against the war makers, if you know how to use it – and we do.
