http://www.truthout.org/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/38/8664
Bill Moyers looks at what he calls one of the biggest changes in politics in his lifetime: the delusional is no longer marginal.

The invasion was an arbitrary military action inspired by a series of lies upon lies and gross manipulation of the media and therefore of the public."
