To the editor:

Last week, two nonprofit, nonpartisan and independent journalism organizations, the Center for Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism released a three-year study (www.publicintegrity.org) analyzing every public statement President Bush and his administration made in the two-year run-up to the Iraq War. The study then compared these Bush administration public statements with what Bush and Co. actually knew and were saying in private. The study found 935 false statements.

Oh, get over it, conservatives will howl. That was over five years ago, move on with your life, would you? I ask them to tell that to the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people who are now dead and lost their chance to move on, because of those lies. What (beside having an affair) do you have to do these days to get impeached?
