Would the government bend the truth to justify a war? The magic 8-ball says decidedly so:
Iraq is only the latest episode in a century long series of misinterpreted, misunderstood, misapplied, suppressed, and flat-out incorrect intelligence that has led the United States into war.
The Spanish-American War has to be my personal favourite. It wasn't until 1976 that it revealed that it was a boiler that blew up the U.S.S Maine and not a Spanish mine, but the real keeper from the even was William Randolph Hearst's quote, "you bring me the photographs, and I'll give you your war."

The first casualty of war is irony.
