Truth elusive in Iraq

Yet more Bush administration lies are exposed today at the UK Independent. In a private letter obtained by the Independent, UK Defense Minister Adam Ingram admitted to another MP that he had inadvertently lied to the Parliament, when he passed on false information given to him by our government, about the use of next generation napalm weapons in Iraq.

Humanitarian groups have been saying for months that evidence suggests these bombs were used in Falluja. The Pentagon has consistently denied this, (it would be illegal to use them against civilians by the way), in fact the Pentagon denied they were used at all - that is until the British press came forward with irrefutable evidence. Now the Pentagon says well, they were used just once at the beginning of the war against military targets.

I'm beginning to think that the Downing Street naysayers are right about us focusing too much on the lies about the Iraq occupation. It would probably be much more efficient to try to find the truth that has been told. There appears to be so little, it wouldn't take up much time at all.
