Ten Appalling Lies We Were Told About Iraq - Milw Alt Weekly
this has finally gone up on their website after having the print edition for several days now. great graphic of *'s nose too. Mods please move over to LBN if appropriate.

Ten Lies
Lie #1: "The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program ... Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons."

-President Bush, Oct. 7, 2002

Fact: This story, leaked to and breathlessly reported by The New York Times' usually astute Middle East correspondent Judith Miller, has turned out to be complete baloney. Department of Energy officials who monitor nuclear plants say the tubes could not be used for enriching uranium. One intelligence analyst who was part of the tubes investigation, angrily told The New Republic: "You had senior American officials like Condoleezza Rice saying the only use of this aluminum really is uranium centrifuges. She said that on television. And that's just a lie."
