Editorials

Editor’s Note: Because we've been publishing more and more stories, some readers say they miss some as they fly by. So, every month, we plan to point out some special stories from the previous month.

Here is a selection from March, focusing a lot on the Iraq War, which passed its fifth anniversary -- and the milestone of 4,000 U.S. dead:

"The Road to 'Operation Iraqi Freedom'" by Jason Leopold, reviewing how George W. Bush had his eyes set on Iraq well before 9/11. (March 20, 2008)

"4,000 Dead, Zero Accountability" by Robert Parry, looking at how George W. Bush used the "surge" to help escape accountability for the bloodshed in Iraq. (March 25, 2008)

"A Few Big Lies: Not Handling Iraq Truth" by Nat Parry, challenging the new conventional wisdow that in 2002-03, no one foresaw the looming disaster in Iraq. (March 26, 2008)

"Frontline's Timid Iraq Retrospective" by former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, critiquing how the PBS documentary series saw incompetence, not criminality, in the Iraq War. (March 26, 2008)

"When a Great Power Goes Mad" by Robert Parry, arguing that delusions about Iraq reflect a deeper sickness of the U.S. political/media class. (March 28, 2008)

"Spitzer & America's Perverse Ethics" by Rabbi Michael Lerner, contrasting the outrage over New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer's prostitution scandal with the atrocities from the "war on terror." (March 12, 2008)

"Obama's Passportgate: Historical Echo" by Robert Parry, looking back at how aides to the first President Bush rifled through Bill Clinton's passport file looking for campaign dirt in 1992. (March 21, 2008)

Other election-related stories:

"Clinton's Up-Is-Down World" by Robert Parry, offering an early warning about Hillary Clinton's tendency to twist the truth (March 19, 2008).
