The war on Iraq received unprecedented media coverage in the history of conflicts, reflecting its grave implications not only for Iraq and the region, but for the American administration and the entire world. This book delves into the policy of misinformation during the Iraq War, exposing the tools and methods used for its justification: forgery, manipulation, psychological warfare, deception, intimidation, the concealment of facts, and the terrorizing of journalists and the press in an attempt to militarize and co-opt the media. It also addresses the many significant questions the war raised, such as the true motives behind the American invasion, the nature and ambitions of the American project in the region, and the intellectual, political, and ideological foundations behind it. Where does the lure of oil fit into this picture, and what was the specific role of the 'Neoconservatives' in igniting this conflict?
