20 Lies About the War
Falsehoods ranging from exaggeration to plain untruth were used to make the case for war. More lies are being used in the aftermath.
By Glen Rangwala and Raymond Whitaker
13 July 20031 Iraq was responsible for the 11 September attacks

Almost as many believed Iraqi hijackers were aboard the crashed airliners; in fact there were none.
