Bush lied and people died



This website is a searchable database of lies made by the Bush administration leading up to the war in Iraq. It features a report (in pdf format) commissioned by Representative Henry Waxman listing the 237 lies, who said them, when they were said and why they were misleading:

"The Iraq on the Record database contains 237 misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq that were made by President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary Powell, and National Security Advisor Rice. These statements were made in 125 separate appearances, consisting of 40 speeches, 26 press conferences and briefings, 53 interviews, 4 written statements, and 2 congressional testimonies. Most of the statements in the database were misleading because they expressed certainty where none existed or failed to acknowledge the doubts of intelligence officials. Ten of the statements were simply false."
