'PBS: Powell's Former Chief of Staff Calls Pre-War Intelligence a 'Hoax on the American People'

NEW YORK, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/

-- In an interview airing tonight on the PBS weekly newsmagazine NOW, Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff Lawrence Wilkerson makes the startling claim that much of Powell's landmark speech to the United Nations laying out the Bush Administration's case for the Iraq war was false.

"I participated in a hoax on the American people, the international community, and the United Nations Security Council," says Wilkerson, who helped prepare the address.

Are you ok with this?
People are beginning to protest!

Demand the truth. Rember the movie, "A Few Good Men" when Tom Cruise (Lt. Daniel Kaffee) risks all and confronts the arrogant Col. Nathan R. Jessep, played by Jack Nicholson? Lt Kaffee tells Jessep to sit down because he wasn't through questioning him? Jack Nicholson/Jessep sits down and smuggly asks Cruise/Kaffee, "OK sunny, what is it that you want?"

Cruise yells, "I WANT THE TRUTH!"
Nicholson yell's back, "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

That's all I want, " I want the truth about the 9/11 attacks, the role of the CIA, the FBI, the administration, and this mismanaged war!" I WANT THE TRUTH!!! DON'T YOU?

We got a special prosecutor to investigate Bill Clinton lying about his sex life. Doesn't this qualify as equally egregious and something that should be investigated?

This isn't a Democrat or Republican issue, this is an American issue!
