Colin Powell made his Iraq presentation at the UN five years ago, on February 5, 2003.

As much criticism as Powell has received for it””he calls it “painful” and something that will “always be a part of my record”””it hasn’t been close to what’s justified. Powell was far more than just embarrassingly mistaken; the evidence is conclusive that he fabricated evidence and ignored repeated warnings that what he was saying was false.

Unfortunately, Congress has never investigated Powell’s use of the intelligence he was given. Even so, what’s already in the public record is extremely damning. So while the corporate media has never taken a close look at this record, we can go through Powell’s presentation line by line to demonstrate the chasm between what he knew, and what he told the world. As you’ll see, there’s quite a lot to say about it.
