“The intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy”
— 2002 British Intelligence Memo, describing the Bush Administration’s desire to remove Saddam through military action, using “fixed” intelligence data to claim terrorism and WMDs as justification.
Here’s the “smoking gun” memo Mark reported on Monday finally mentioned in American newspapers. Mark Levine first reported the manipulation of intelligence to falsely justify the Iraqi war on the very first broadcast of THE INSIDE SCOOP in June 2003. It has taken the mainstream media almost 2 years to confirm Mark’s inside scoop.

Contamination at Ground Zero
May 12, 2005(broadcast stream) (.mp3 download Right-click; “Save Target as”; “Save”)
Guest: Jenna Orkin, Co-chair of the World Trade Center Environmental Organization
That there were environmental hazards at Ground Zero was regrettable.
That the Government mistakenly said the air was safe to breathe was an egregious error.
That the Government then did its best to cover up its error is frightening….but
sadly typical of this Administration.
Should political considerations trump people’s safety?

Extraordinary Rendition

When the USA wants someone tortured but doesn’t want to do it in-house, there’s always out-sourcing. And there’s a plus: it doesn’t matter whether the prisoner is innocent or guilty.
The part of the “War on Terror” the Bush Administration desperately does not want you to know…

The "Bush Doctrine" Around the World
May 9, 2005(broadcast stream) (.mp3 download Right-click; “Save Target as”; “Save”)
A brutal dictator kills and tortures his people and has close ties to Al Quaeda. He also has the quiet support of George W. Bush. Charles Taylor, former President of Liberia and working hard to return there, is the only indicted war criminal in the world that led a nation and is escaping justice. And Bush, for some reason, is helping him.
Is Charles Taylor just one notorious example of the application of the “Bush Doctrine” around the world, which provides freedom and democracy . . . for all oil-producing countries headed by dictators who won’t sell to the United States?
As for oil-rich dictatorships (like Equitorial Guinea) or genocidal dictatatorships without oil (like Sudan), their people just don’t deserve freedom and democracy. Do they?
