"Much of our pre-war intelligence came from three sources.
"A man code-named Curveball, who we bribed.
"A man named Chalibi, who conned us.
"And a man named al-Libi, who we tortured into telling lies."
I can prove the truth of the entire mantra, which I document in the Voice article, to any reasonable jury, and this is what the American public ideally should be, in a manner of speaking. Unfortunately, major media have been complicit in duping the jury by applauding politely as the courthouse of international norms burns down, igniting fires that threaten the world.
Alternative outlets like Knoxviews, Knoxville Voice, Buzzflash, Truthout, CommonDreams and OpedNews demonstrate, however, that not all media go along with mass deceptions that endanger the world. In the end they just might save us all.

* The first line of this column is a Humorous reference to a phrase that is becoming all too familiar to longtime readers. It was the opening line to my last column for the Knoxville News-Sentinel, which the editor refused to publish, though he later posted it without permission at his blog, The Upfront Page.
