WASHINGTON - July 25 - A full-page advertisement in the Sunday, July 27th, 2003 New York Times asks Americans to visit a new website, www.wedeservethetruth.com, and urges them to contact their Senators and Representatives to "get the truth" about the exaggerated and false intelligence on which the Administration's case for the Iraq war was based.
The advertisement titled "When the Nation Goes to War, The People Deserve the Truth," contains a dozen statements made by President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, and Secretary of State Colin Powell now called into question by subsequent disclosures and by events in Iraq.
The statements include but go beyond the now discredited reference by President Bush to the uranium imports from Africa.
Similar ads are scheduled for publication on July 27, 2003 in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Houston Chronicle.
The advertisement and website are sponsored by Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman, who are engaged in educational and philanthropic activities in New York, and George Soros, Chairman of Soros Fund Management LLC.
