Powell's Former Chief of Staff Lawrence Wilkerson Calls Pre-War
Intelligence a 'Hoax on the American People'
February 3
NEW YORK, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ --
In an interview airing tonight on the PBS weekly newsmagazine NOW,
Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff Lawrence Wilkerson makes the
startling claim that much of Powell's landmark speech to the United
Nations laying out the Bush Administration's case for the Iraq war was
false.
"I participated in a hoax on the American people, the international
community, and the United Nations Security Council," says Wilkerson,
who helped prepare the address.
The NOW report, which airs days before the third anniversary of
Powell's speech, examines the serious doubts that existed about the key
evidence being used by the American government at the very time
Powell's speech was being planned and delivered.
"I recall vividly the Secretary of State walking into my office,"
Wilkerson tells NOW.
"He said: 'I wonder what will happen if we put half a million troops on
the ground in Iraq and comb the country from one end to the other and
don't find a single weapon of mass destruction?'"
In fact, no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq.
