The simple truths are that a) There were no WMD in Iraq; b) Bush and most of the people around him knew there were no WMD in Iraq; and c) Before the invasion, Saddam Hussein granted UN Weapons Inspectors unrestricted access to suspected sites in Iraq.
These simple truths are part of a growing list of statements that few Republican will ever accept, collected in The Heartland Project on my site. The news media is very conservative -- or perhaps simply unprofessional, but it amounts to the same degree of bad coverage -- and we in the Heartland must reestablish the moral compass that made this country great.
Keep up the good work, Joe Conason.
