The Center for Public Integrity (CPI) has produced a very valuable resource that details every untrue statement made by the US administration in the build up to the invasion of Iraq. Under the title "Iraq: The War Card - Orchestrated Deception on the Path to War" they have made available a searchable database, of 380 000 words, containing all the statements leading to war that can now be seen to be palpably lies. It is a resource detailing propaganda on a grand scale. As the administration has largely avoided detailed scrutiny of this effort the CPI are surely right to claim that " this project provides a heretofore unavailable framework for examining how the U.S. war in Iraq came to pass." The database is available on the CPI website.
