Truth lags
Washington Monthly, Sept, 2004 by Charles Peters
The truth is having a hard time catching up with the ties of the Bush gang. When asked whether there was a partnership "between Saddam Hussein in Iraq and al Qaeda," 56 percent of the respondents in a late June poll said yes, and only 28 percent disagreed. The respondents were also asked whether Saddam had advance notice of the 9/11 attacks.
When the same question was posed late in 2001, 79 percent said it was very or somewhat likely. Now, despite abundant evidence to the contrary, that figure has only declined to 68 percent.
