We’re heard this before: stockpiles of chemical weapons, the clamor for action to uphold our “credibility,” a mainstream media too ready to accept the official position and even to urge it on, another potentially deadly misstep into the maelstrom of Mideast politics.
As the saying goes, history may not repeat itself but it rhymes – a good reason, then, to take another look at the Bill Moyers documentary, “Buying the War,” the sad and bitter account of how the public debate and scrutiny of the 2003 invasion of Iraq were stymied by a government eager for a fight and a compliant press unwilling to seek out the truth.
