 We
Fingered This Guy From Day One
The trial
of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is making
headlines now, but here at Antiwar.com we saw the indictment
of the vice president's powerful chief of staff coming from
miles
away. That's because we knew where
to look – at the history of the "neocon network,"
as our
Oct. 2, 2003, report put it, and Libby's role in lying
us into war.
We do
our homework, unlike the mainstream media, which is more concerned
with infotainment
than with serious issues – such as our foreign policy and
those who make it. Since the establishment press seems to
have abandoned its role as guardian of truth, Antiwar.com
has stepped into the breach. Everybody knows that if you want
the scoop on the War Party's latest con games, all you need
is our Web address.
Back when
everyone else thought the Libby affair was dead, moot, or
boring, Antiwar.com kept hammering away at it, and our early
coverage and commentary
stand up rather well. In this
2005 interview with Antiwar Radio host Scott Horton, editorial
director Justin Raimondo presciently portrays the investigation
as signifying a split between the Oval Office and the Office
of the Vice President – prefiguring Libby defense counsel
Ted Wells' opening statement, which accused the president's
men of scapegoating his client.
The Libby
trial is but a part of a larger picture – the story of how
a cabal of government officials lied us into war. You can
count on Antiwar.com to give you a clear view of that larger
picture, but it doesn't come free.
Oh sure,
we get by on a much smaller budget than any of the major media
outlets, but unlike, say, Fox News, we don't have big corporate
backers. Our only backers are you, the readers, who have supported
us through the years – and are being called on to do so again.
