Gregory Palast: The Screwing of Cynthia McKinney
Have you heard about Cynthia McKinney, former U.S. Congresswoman?

According to those quoted on National Public Radio, McKinney "a loose cannon" (media expert) who "the people of Atlanta are embarrassed and disgusted" (politician) by, and she is also "loony" and "dangerous" (senator from her own party).

Yow! And why is McKinney dangerous/loony/disgusting? According to NPR, "McKinney implied that the [Bush] Administration knew in advance about September 11 and deliberately held back the information."

The New York Times' Lynette Clemetson revealed her comments went even further over the edge: "Ms. McKinney suggest[ed] that President Bush might have known about the September 11 attacks but did nothing so his supporters could make money in a war."

That's loony, all right. As an editor of the highly respected Atlanta Journal Constitution told NPR, McKinney "practically accused the President of murder!"

Problem is, McKinney never said it.

Denial and deception

Denial and Deception is an editorial / op-ed in the New York Times. written by Paul Krugman.

Quote:

Politics is full of ironies. On the White House Web site, George W. Bush's speech from Oct. 7, 2002 in which he made the case for war with Iraq bears the headline "Denial and Deception." Indeed.
There is no longer any serious doubt that Bush administration officials deceived us into war. The key question now is why so many influential people are in denial, unwilling to admit the obvious.
