This blog, based on an essay by Eliot Weinberger (author of '9/12'), will take you past the media spin, and reveal many of the huge inconsistencies that spew forth from Washington. It will make extensive use of direct quotes. It will let you see a reality behind the smokescreen that is being desperately erected by war-mongers who knew from the start they were in the wrong.
