The Lie that Started the Iraq War

The Washington Post (interesting graphic) today revealed that intelligence showed that what has been repeatedly used to assert that there are weapons of mass destructions was only a harmless hydrogen producing truck.

The three-page field report and a 122-page final report three weeks later were stamped "secret" and shelved. Meanwhile, for nearly a year, administration and intelligence officials continued to publicly assert that the trailers were weapons factories.

It seems that someone is shelving the really important information, while revealing selectively misleading news (see my previous post). How can such an important report just be shelved??? To claim that no one looked at the report and especially that the president didn't know about it is either a terribly stupid act or was don on purpose to start the war against the war. I am afraid the latter is more likely!
