The Center for Public Integrity (no, not the White House, it’s a non-profit), has released a report that chronicles nearly 1000 false statements made by senior Bush administration officials in the run-up to the Iraq War. They have an overview, biographies, key false statements, and a searchable database online at their website. It’s pretty damn shocking. As the date of the war’s start got closer (who knows if it was predetermined), the amount of false statements increased so that in February, 2003 they peaked. On March 19, 2003, we started bombing Iraq.

Lee H. Hamilton, the co-chair of 9/11 Commission is interviewed below in a video produced by CPI about the impact of this report.
