Representative Henry Waxman has prepared a report detailing 237 specific deliberate misrepresentations about Iraq by Bu$hCo officials.
It contains statements that were misleading based on what was known to the Administration at the time the statements were made. It does not include statements that appear mistaken only in hindsight. If a statement was an accurate reflection of U.S. intelligence at the time it was made, it was excluded even if it now appears erroneous.
Here’s an explanation of the methodology about how the statements were selected.
Iraq on the Record is searchable by the the five Administration officials most responsible for providing public information and shaping public opinion on Iraq:
President George W. Bush
Vice President Dick Cheney
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
Then-Secretary of State Colin Powell
Then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice
It is also searchable by issue area:
Iraq's Nuclear Capabilities
Chemical and Biological Weapons
Iraq and Al-Qaeda
Iraq as an Urgent Threat
It is also searchable by keyword, such as "mushroom cloud", "uranium", or "bin Laden."
With regard to Representative Waxman I publicly retract my comment about “overpaid and overbribed underachievers”. He’s my kind of employee.
NOTE: The report is a .pdf file, so you have to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which means slow loading, but still satisfying reading.

I snagged this one. Thanks.
