A full investigation of whether we went to war on false pretenses should begin now
By The Capital-Journal editorial board
The United States went to war with Iraq, spent billions of dollars, lost nearly 200 American lives so far and killed thousands of Iraqi citizens, all because the Bush administration had convinced the public that America -- indeed the world -- was under imminent threat of being attacked by weapons of mass destruction and that Saddam Hussein was linked to al-Qaida.
So far, no weapons of mass destruction have been found, despite exhaustive searches by U.S. military. Neither has any evidence surfaced to substantiate Saddam's ties to al-Qaida. In fact, two captured top al-Qaida leaders said in separate interviews more than a year ago that Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida had shunned any connection.
When Colin Powell made the case for war before the United Nations, he may have unknowingly used some fabricated evidence provided by the Defense Department. Now Condoleeza Rice has admitted that President Bush cited a forged document in his State of the Union speech to show that Iraq was a nuclear threat.

This is what some folks out in the hinterlands are reading today. Will they want to see the truth come out?
