Honesty Matters (Still)

Monday, June 09, 2003  

Today on Morning Edition, Noah Adams began a new series in which he will "travel throughout the country to profile the low-income workforce, talking with people about their jobs, their families and their hopes for the future." His first stop was about 100 yards from my office.

Honesty Matters, Part 3. I don't have time to write up a full response to this, but "Missing Weapons Of Mass Destruction" by John W. Dean is an interesting analysis of the legal grounds for a potential Bush impeachment. If lying about getting a blowjob is cause for both impeachment and moral outrage (particularly from America's churches), then certainly lying in order to justify a war that led to several thousand deaths should generate some noise too.

Honesty Matters, Part 4. The Whiskey Bar is at it again. This time, Billmon has compiled a chronological collection of quotations that illustrate the Bush administration's changing attitude toward the democratization of Iraq. Here it is in a nutshell:

They told us, "Liberation now," and then they made it occupation. Bush said he was a liberator, not an occupier, and we supported the United States on this basis.

— Ahmed Chalabi, Chairman of the Iraqi National Congress (May 29, 2003)
