THE FIRST FULL-LENGTH BOOK ON THE WAR ON IRAQ (tags)
There were two wars going on in Iraq - one fought by armies with soldiers, bombs and fearsome military force. The other was fought alongside it with cameras, satellites, armies of journalists and propaganda techniques. One war was rationalized as an effort to find and disarm WMDs - Weapons of Mass Destruction; the other was carried out by even more powerful WMD’s, Weapons of Mass Deception. A special appeal to IndyLA Readers! Please help us democratize the U.S. media.
