FAIR MEDIA ADVISORY: Bush Uranium Lie Is Tip of the Iceberg

<snip>
Bush's use of the Niger forgeries has received considerable media
attention in recent days. Much of this reporting has been valuable, and
some outlets have broadened the inquiry beyond one passage in a speech.
The Washington Post's Walter Pincus, for example, suggests (7/16/03)
that the uranium claim remained in the State of the Union address
because "almost all the other evidence had either been undercut or
disproved by U.N. inspectors in Iraq."

Much media coverage, however, has focused narrowly on the Niger
incident, putting the press is in danger of ignoring the most important
question the story raises: Does the uranium claim indicate a larger
pattern of deceptive claims made about Iraq? At minimum, the following
assertions made by the Bush administration also deserve media
scrutiny:<snip>
