Deceit, pettiness, treachery, arrogance, ignorance and stunning callousness

morgan strong reviews the recent pbc frontline documentary on five years of the iraq war for robert parry's consortium news...

What the broadcast revealed was nothing new. Others have engaged the subject as thoroughly as did Frontline. What we did see in this broadcast, however, was a compilation of the deceit, pettiness, treachery, arrogance, ignorance and stunning callousness by those who took us into this vile war.

The key figures who promoted the war were Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Lewis Libby. Those names were not new, but a new motive for the war was revealed: the recognition of Israel by a new democratic Iraq.

thank goodness we have these chronicles of treachery... they serve as a foundation for the truth of this illegal and immoral war...
