Subject: War College professor on Bush Adm distortions

Salon blog:
Just as former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's story that Bushies blew his CIA
wife's cover to get back at his criticism of the war in Iraq was getting old,
he has stumbled on new ammo to hit the administration's credibility. Wilson
tells us he plans to circulate the text of a briefing by analyst Sam Gardiner
that suggests the White House and Pentagon made up or distorted over 50 war
stories.

You know some tall tales, like the Pvt. Jessica Lynch story. But there's more,
says Gardiner, a war gamer who has taught at the National War College. Like
how defense officials said the first Iraqi unit marines encountered, the 51st
Mechanized Infantry Division, had surrendered four days before it actually
did. And he says Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Joint Chiefs Chairman
Gen. Richard Myers gave bad or deliberately incomplete info on several topics.
Sure, propaganda has always been used in war to deceive and demoralize the
enemy. But these guys went way overboard, Gardiner says. "Never before have so
many stories been created to sell a war," he insists. "And they probably
didn't need it."
