Anatomy of a Lie
-- Wolfowitz at the New School
exclusive to CLG --by

I attended an event last week at the New School Univeristy in New York
and listened as Paul Wolfowitz lied his way through the entire 'interview'
with the New Yorker's golden boy,
Jeff Goldberg.
When a question involved the hideous designs of the Dr. Strangeloveish
Project for a New American Century Wolfowitz calmly lied. The PNAC's
infamous "Rebuilding America's Defenses" paper is certainly
authored by the diabolical Deputy Defense Secretary (see p. 90) along
with others. His lame excuse was he may have a attended a meeting or
two and he implied he really wasn't part of the project.
I beg to differ.
Wolfowitz isn't just a passive participant at PNAC. He's a
founding father.
See:
-
The Project for the New American Century --by William Rivers Pitt
-
"Rebuilding America's Defenses" -- A Summary
-
Rebuilding America's Defenses
(PDF) the entire white paper. He is credited on page 90. The goulish
quote "Further, the process of transformation,
even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one,
absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl
Harbor." is on page 63.
- ABC News (hardly a "Ramparts"
of the news biz) reports
"The group, the Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, was
founded in 1997. Among its supporters were three Republican former
officials who were sitting out the Democratic presidency of Bill Clinton:
Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz
. "
- Paul Wolfowitz is described
as a "leading
participant",
a "high profile sympathiser",
"founding member",
"a leading member",
an "early backer of the group",
author of the draft that became the Bush (Jr.) Doctrine,
"contributor",
a supervisor,
an "early PNAC member ", etc., etc., for the Project for a New
American Century. He also is a signer of the
statement of principals for PNAC.
That he didn't intimately know,
or contribute to, the
fiendish white paper is simply not credible.
The neo-cons take the American people for fools. The steadfast lying about
his own professional life is easy to refute. How is it that this bold
faced falsehood gets overlooked by the corporate press?
This shouldn't be an exclusive. This should be old news by now.
