WASHINGTON - March 16 - Today Rep. Waxman released a new report, "Iraq on the Record: The Bush Administration's Public Statements on Iraq." The report and accompanying searchable database provide a comprehensive examination of the statements made by the five officials most reponsible for providing public information and shaping public opinion on Iraq: President George Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice. The report and database identify 237 specific misleading statements made by these officials in 125 separate public appearances.
