I use the example of the incessant lies of Rove, Bush, Cheney, et al, because that was the first time I saw the practice in such blatant disregard of any dissenting information. I found the justification for the Iraq Invasion to be the most egregious example of repeating lies ad nauseam.

So what? He lied to suit his purpose/agenda and that was to do something good, invade and remove a dictator/tyrant from power.
Politicians lie all the time. Obama is lying about his past(mostly lies of omission), but that is what he needs to do to get elected to promote his socialist agenda.
Lying occurs in ALL politicians, not just the Bush crowd. You seem to be worried a lot about the rights of sovereign countries, but not about the rights of your fellow Americans. We have talked all about spending and taxation, but not about the truly scary stuff at the bottom of that article, the stuff about freedom of speech.



I read that there are still people who believe that Sadaam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, that he was ready to strike us with atomic weaponry, that he was behind the planes flying into the twin towers.

_I_ still believe that he had weapons of mass destruction.
He certainly used chemical and biological weapons against Iran and the Kurds, and maybe our troops as we are still trying to sort out Gulf War Syndrome.
As to the atomic weaponry stuff, just because a government is not manufacturing their own weaponry doesn't mean they don't have it. Much was moved into Syria and Iran and hidden deep in the desert. I doubt we will ever find it. As to terrorism, Iraq was one of the countries who sponsored terrorism both on a large scale and a small scale. They gave money to the families of Palestinian homicide bombers.(too many to name) They supported terrorism by issuing diplomatic passports so that terrorists could travel at will and be provided safe havens(Abu Abbas and Abu Nidal for example) Hussein, over the years also provided terrorist camps and medical treatment to terrorists..so while he was not specifically involved in the events of 9/11, he certainly had his fingers in other pies, especially those pies that were intended to kill Israelis.
