A startling article about the civillian deaths in Iraq since the beginning of the US invasion was released today. What do you you Bush Warmongers have to say about this? I will be surprised if any candidate will address these statistics directly, given then amount of doubletalk we’ve had to endure to this point in the campaign.

And Iraq is a better place since Saddam is no longer in power? Wait a minute, my Bullshit-O-Meter is going off the chart…

I received this email last week:

FactCheck.org needs your help .

We are looking for examples of false or misleading political mail regarding the presidential
campaign. If you receive any, please send them to us.

We promise not to use your name without your permission, but we won’t be able to return the
material you send. Please do include your name and a telephone number or email address where we
might contact you in case we have questions.

The kind of mail we are looking for might be sent by the campaigns, or political parties, or
independent groups. Typically these mailings are targeted to specific groups – such as older
voters, minority groups or gun owners, for example. Since the messages aren’t intended for a
general audience and are seldom seen by political reporters, those who send them sometimes take
more liberties with the facts than they would in TV or radio advertising that is seen and heard by
everybody.

With your help, we hope to shed some new light on this sort of tactic and hold politicians
accountable for any deceptions we can uncover.
