TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARCrooks and Liars:
On CNN this morning:
[Sen.] Levin: While the intelligence community was consistently dubious about links between Iraq and al-Qaeda, Mr Feith produced an alternative analysis asserting that there was a strong connection. Were you comfortable with Mr. Feith’s office approach to intelligence analysis?
Hayden: No sir, I wasn’t. I wasn’t aware of a lot of the activity going on when it was contemporaneous with the running up to the war, but… no sir, I wasn’t comfortable.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
