Bush Says Iraq Is Going Great, but the Facts Say Otherwise
You Can Help Get the Facts Out

Dear C:

President Bush tells us that “Our strategy is succeeding … Iraq is headed toward democracy ... Freedom is on the march.”
This from the guy who told us that American troops would be greeted with parades as liberators and “Mission
Accomplished.”

The facts say otherwise. Bush’s own CIA recently reported to him that the best case in Iraq is a protracted quagmire and the worst case is a full-blown civil war. Yet Bush continues the sunny spin.

In a democracy, the people are entitled to know what’s going on so that we can form our own opinions and take action. No
wonder this government seeks to keep the facts from the people.

But U.S. senators, both Democrats and Republicans, are calling for the public release of the facts in that CIA analysis, known as the National Intelligence Estimate. Respected senators Bob Graham (D-FL) and John McCain (R-AZ) have read it and know that Americans deserve to know what’s in it too. Of course, it would have the secret stuff taken out; no one wants to make things worse. But the truth of how we got into this mess, what’s happening on the ground there now and how this is going to play out should all be available to the people.
