    Wow, so you’re saying that if this information were made public in 2002, Powell wouldn’t have lied about wmds, and Iraqis wouldn’t have been scary brown heathens? Incredible!

      I’m reminded of something I recall a lady giving a speech once said (for the life of me I can’t remember whether she was a socialist, or basically anything else about her) that (Times?) magazine once ran a poll to see how many people believed Iraq was involved in 9/11 and found that around 70% of respondents believed that yes, Iraq was involved, despite there being absolutely no evidence whatsoever.
