Ron; A former White House Press Secretary charging 'Propaganda' to sell the war, while Bush is still in office is pretty extraordinary. There is something very sleazy about selling the Bush stuff to the American people and then now being handsomely rewarded for finally telling the truth. steve

Wow. What an indictment of the Bush Administration, but more importantly it is an indictment of the "Liberal" media. What a bunch of weasels. Chris Mathews and Tim Russert deserve, imo, to be tried as war criminals. They are given access and have access to public airwaves and they choose to be weasels. Acting like a weasel should be against the law (an attempt at gallows humor).

McClellan charges that Bush relied on “propaganda” to sell the war. He says the White House press corps was too easy on the administration during the run-up to the war. Can we call him a traitor now? I can point to thousands of folks, on this thread and other threads and blogs, who came to these same conclusions years before McClellan did, and were called traitor and worse. Apparently, the trick is in the timing.

This is the most important thing to come out of the White House in nearly 8 years. The veil of secrecy is beginning to be removed.

Ron - Scott McClellan now becomes just the latest person to be vilified by the White House after writing about how the Bush Administration used strong-arm propganda techniques to sell its agenda, and that often they knew they were not being truthful. Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neall, and now Scott McClellan. Am I missing anyone? Can it really be that each of the people who has written critically about this Administration after being inside it is really "disgruntled" or somehow not of sound mind, as Karl Rove would have us believe? Their stories are quite similar. To me, it's more likely that they are telling the truth. - Allen
