To Neocons, Reality Is 'Treason'

by Paul Craig Roberts

President Bush learned about the US torture of Iraqi detainees the same way you did – from TV news – compelling evidence that Bush has been manipulated by VP Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and the neocon warmongers. And you thought President Bush was in charge!

President Bush is being manipulated to promote war against the Muslim Middle East. Before conservatives ridicule him for being a manipulated object, they need to look in the mirror. They, too, are manipulated.

It is close to impossible for conservatives to get any but rah-rah kick-their-terrorist-butts commentary on the Iraqi conflict. Anyone who relies on Fox News, the Weekly Standard, National Review or the Wall Street Journal Editorial Page for understanding the US invasion and occupation of Iraq is as propagandized as Germans during the Nazi era.
