 BUSH ADMINISTRATION MANIPULATING THE FACTS TO COMBAT LOW APPROVAL RATINGS
In yet another episode of the Bush Administration’s attempts to deceive the American public, the White House has again been caught manipulating the facts on the war in Iraq. In the past weeks, 11 identical letters were sent by members of the 501st Infantry Regiment stationed in Iraq outlining the progress being made in the Iraqi reconstruction. Gannet News Service later contacted the soldiers who “authored” the letter and found that six soldiers had not written the letter but signed it, one had not signed the letter, and one didn’t even know about the letter. Incidentally, the letter appeared just five days after an October 8th memo circulated Washington, DC accusing the White House and Pentagon of making up and distorting over 50 war stories in order to boost support for the war.
