>
> The toll of untruth
>
> Even as young American soldiers are dying in Iraq in disturbing numbers, a
> striking pattern is emerging of the Bush Administration's manipulation of
> the war for political advantage.
>
> The US death toll for April already exceeds the total of 31 deaths in
> March, and the White House is again confronting reports of gaping
> discrepancies in what the President said publicly about Iraq and what the
> reality was according to known intelligence.
>
> Two days after a Pentagon-sponsored fact-finding mission concluded that
> trailers captured after the fall of Baghdad did not contain weapons of
> mass destruction, the administration kept insisting they did.
>
> The trailers seized in late May, 2003, were described as mobile
> "biological laboratories" and the President hailed their discovery as a
> victory for his administration. "We have found the weapons of mass
> destruction", he declared after US intelligence officials reported the
> trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons.
>
> According to the Washington Post, the three-page field report compiled by
> nine US and British civilian experts sent to Baghdad by the Defense
> Intelligence Agency, was classified and shelved.
>
> For nearly a year after the team's findings were sent to Washington, the
> Post reported, the Bush Administration continued to publicly claim the
> trailers were biological weapons factories.
>
> And why not ? The claim supported the administration's primary
> justification for invading Iraq even though no WMDs have ever been found.
>
> White House spokesman Scott McClellan said it was unclear whether the
> administration was aware of the contradictory field report when President
> Bush repeated his certainty about the biological weapons.
>
> But Mr. McClellan largely dismissed the latest questions on what the
> President knew about the trailers as "rehashing an old issue" of faulty
> intelligence. Yet in the last two weeks a troublesome picture has
> developed of a Bush White House more than willing to compromise fact for
> fiction to boost political fortunes.
>
> Consider the pattern. Recent reports allege the President himself
> authorized media leaks of classified material on Iraqi weapons to ambush a
> critic. Subsequent revelations show the Bush Administration repeating
> claims about the discovery of WMDs long after they were refuted.
>
> Contrast the persistent doubts being raised about the truthfulness of
> Washington in relation to the Iraq war and the rising casualty count of US
> troops under escalating attacks.
>
> The sacrifice for fulfilling Bush policy is too great not to demand
> accountability; the whole truth and nothing but from the President on
> down.
