Stop the Crime of the Century By David Michael Green

Read the article. It's about the "smoking gun" published in the London Times before the recent British election which proves that everything the Bush administration said about the Iraq invasion was a lie. If you live in Britain you probably know it, but if you live in the United States, chances are minuscule that you would be aware because the major media has remained utterly silent on the subject.
Where is Ken Starr now!!!

Excerpt from the end of the article:
"We must begin by demanding coverage of this explosive evidence by the leading organs of American journalism. If the American people remain too jaded or frightened to demand the heads of those who deceived them so thoroughly, they're entitled to inherit the consequences of their own failures. However, they cannot make that choice until they know the facts.
Please therefore, for the sake of innocent Iraqis, for the sake of American soldiers, and for the sake of American democracy, do two things 'write now':
* First, send a message to the New York Times and the Washington Post, demanding that they cover this most significant of stories. Top brass at the New York Times can be emailed at the following addresses: Executive Editor Bill Keller at executive-editor@nytimes.com, and Managing Editor Jill Abramson at managing-editor@nytimes.com. For the Washington Post, try National Editor Michael Abramowitz at abramowitz@washpost.com, and Associate Editor Robert Kaiser at robertgkaiser@yahoo.com.
* Next, forward this article on to everybody you know, and ask them to write the Times and the Post as well, and then to forward this article in turn to everyone they know. With some luck, perhaps we can achieve a critical mass which can no longer be ignored by these papers, with the electronic media then to follow.
In any case, we are evidently going have to take this country back ourselves, without even the benefit of a competent media to report the news.
Fortunately, we possess the greatest weapon of all, the truth."
