The Putin-Did-It Conspiracy Theory

  

 

*	The Times' editorial doesn't give much reason for hope that
America's upside-down "group think" has righted itself in any meaningful
way. In the mainstream media's latest repeat of the Iraq-WMD fiasco, the
Times and virtually every other major news outlet remain committed to a
dangerous misreading of the facts about Ukraine.

15 February 15 | The original falsehood behind the Iraq War was that Saddam
Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and intended to use them against
America either directly or by giving them to al-Qaeda. The opening lie about
the Ukraine crisis was that Russian President Vladimir Putin instigated the
conflict as part of some Hitlerian plan to conquer much of Europe.

 

Yet, while the Hussein-WMD claim was hard for the common citizen to assess
because it was supposedly supported by U.S. intelligence information that
was kept secret, the Putin-Ukraine lie collapses under the most cursory
examination based simply of what's publicly known and what makes sense.

The armchair warriors of Official Washington are eager for a new war, this
time with Russia over Ukraine, and they are operating from the same sort of
mindless "group think" and hostility to dissent that proved so disastrous in
Iraq.
