Wikipedia is the best thing since toast. I haven't read everything, but I have yet to find any innacuracies in the articles on science and the environment.

As for your post, it's not so much the information as it is the way it is twisted in this article that I take issue with.

If you will notice, the Wikipedia information I linked to has sources. The particular Wikipedia information I pointed you to comes from the World Bank and other similarly expert sources.

Your post just proves that all news sources need to be questions, not just Wikipedia.

In fact, if people like you had done this years ago, we wouldn't have lost so much due to our president, nor would we be losing so badly in Iraqi. In fact, we would never had even been there in the first place if more people had ben paying atention as much as bev, me, and others on this BBS were in the year leading up to the illegal invasion.

My unbiased observation of you is thta you select whatever suits you even if you know it is a lie, and ignore the truth, over and over and over. You and people like you ruined America and I am po'ed

And as for propaganda...

DONALD RUMSFELD (Department of Defense Press Briefing, 9/26/02): We know they have weapons of mass destruction, we know they have active programs.

BILL MOYERS: As the WASHINGTON POST'S veteran reporter Walter Pincus would later report, the propaganda machine was run by the president's inner circle — officials who called themselves the White House Iraq Group, or WHIG.....

BILL MOYERS: You wrote that WHIG included Karl Rove, the chief of staff, Andrew Card, Mary Matalin, Condi Rice, Steven Hadley, Lewis Libby and they were in charge of selling the war.

WALTER PINCUS: Selling the war. Yeah.

PRESIDENT BUSH (9/11/02): Good evening. A long year has passed since enemies attacked our country.

BILL MOYERS: Their chief salesman had the best props at his disposal

PRESIDENT BUSH (9/11/02): Â…and we will not allow any terrorist or tyrant to threaten civilization with weapons of mass murder.

WALTER PINCUS: They created that link.

BILL MOYERS: The marketing group?

WALTER PINCUS: The marketing group. And the link was a twofold link. One, he had weapons of mass destruction. And two, he supported terrorists. And they repeated it everyday. anybody who watches-- television these days knows you sell a product, not just by saying it once, by saying it over and over again with new spokesmen two, three times a day and it sinks into the public.
