Editorials

Choice

Taken together, the 24 essays in this collection demonstrate once again the truth of the clichΓ© that truth is the first casualty of war. Several contributors discuss, and are disturbed by, the unprecedented extent of deliberate, detailed, and systematic lying (all of which has been documented) by the Bush administration regarding the instigation and conduct of the war on Iraq. Highly recommended.
