Help! Need links to articles on how pre-war intelligence was twisted

Hi, I need some reference articles on how shrub & co. twisted the pre-war intelligence to make their case for war on Iraq (if possible, articles from mainstream news sources- I'm dealing with a dittohead who shrugs off anything from a left-leaning site). Does anyone have some links readily available? I'm not being lazy, just in a bit of a hurry and don't have time to slog through pages and pages of google hits. Thanks in advance!

2. Try here...

I set up www.whoslying.org for just this reason. You can find the lie you want, and it has a link and cite to a mainstream article on the subject.

Try here: http://www.whoslying.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=26

Here: http://www.whoslying.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=26

Here: http://tvnewslies.org/html/guilt_by_innocence.html

But the best by far is washingtonpost.com. Just do a search and go through their stories, since they have done by far the best reporting on the twisting of the records.

3. Here's a start

(the original version is linked at the top)

This one is from the Guardian:

Taken together, that's pretty much the whole story.

4. Here's a good one.

Check out the Rumsfeld statement. "Immediate threat" straight from the horse's mouth.

7. Don't miss this analysis by a retired USAF colonel

"Truth from these Podia," by Sam Gardiner, October 8, 2003

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/politics/whispers/documents/truth_1.pdf

and four other sections at the same location, just substitute 2 etc. for 1 in the URL. Note mainstream location (and it's still there!).

This analysis is from someone who understands propaganda.
