[Chewbacca]

The mistruth that Iraq was a immenent threat with military-strike WMD capablity still stands as undisputedly a mistruth- lies and/or errors.

Colin Powell admitted just a few short days ago that his slam dunk presentation at the U.N. before the invasion was almost totally based on false information.

This news about the IED made from an old left-over artillery shell hardly validates the Bush administration's pre-war rhetoric. If anything it accents just how wrong they were. Whether or not they were liars or simply mis-informed remains a topic under investigation and for a different discussion.
