Disinformation
by Richard Miniter
There are a lot of War on Terror myths masquerading as fact in respected newspapers, on the airwaves, and on the web. Some are cunningly disguised; others are as crude and silly as the ideas that a small band of neocons have made a puppet of the president, and that the collapse of the Twin Towers was an inside job. Many of these myths will surprise you. Miniter, the indefatigable investigative reporter and terrorism expert who has penned two New York Times bestsellers (Losing bin Laden and Shadow War), smashes these myths as he draws on seldom-seen documents, contacts with countless high-level sources, and unique information he has gathered in his travels from Sudan to the Philippines, from Saudi Arabia to Hong Kong, and from Washington to Brussels. He shows not only why you should not believe these myths, but how they play into the hands of the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 - and divert valuable personnel and resources to chasing cold tips down blind alleys.

Richard Miniter reveals:

Three common myths about the Bush Administration that have been spread widely by Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11

The 9/11 hijackers used box-cutters to take control of the four planes they hijacked, right? Wrong -- and how this popular myth got started

Did the U.S. fund the Taliban in the 1980s? It would have been tough, since the Taliban wasn't even formed until 1995

How the only source for the widespread idea that Osama bin Laden is on dialysis and is slowly dying of kidney failure has backed away from his story

Striking evidence that Osama bin Laden is not a reclusive multi-millionaire who can finance his terror campaign out of his own pocket -- and that Al-Qaeda is in fact perennially short of cash

What Osama bin Laden himself has said about the Left's pet charge that he was trained by American officials in Afghanistan -- plus six sources that show that he never had any relationship with the CIA or any other U.S. agency

The deadly lesson that the Iranian revolution taught to bin Laden and his comrades-in-arms

How bin Laden declared war on America five separate times and pursued his jihad war against the United States throughout the 1990s -- contrary to liberal media claims that no one had heard of him before 9/11

Bush knew? No -- as is clear from this close examination of the CIA memo that supposedly warned him about possible hijackings before 9/11

Were 4,000 Jews really absent from their jobs at the World Trade Center on 9/11? The truth about this hateful anti-Semitic canard

Since the September 11 attacks, the world is more dangerous for Americans than ever before, right? Wrong

Are U.S. troops in Iraq to make the world safe for Halliburton? No -- in fact, Halliburton has not made a fortune in Iraq, and is even trying to sell its division that runs Iraqi operations

Why there is absolutely no viable parallel between America's presence in Iraq and the Vietnam War

How the number of civilians killed by American troops in Iraq has been wildly inflated by the rabid leftists among the mainstream media and academic establishment

A war for oil? Why the U.S. is not fighting one in Iraq or anywhere else

No WMDs in Iraq? How the strength of the prewar intelligence on weapons of mass destruction was exaggerated -- but so is the postwar case against that same intelligence

Clear, uncontested, proven links between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Al Qaeda

Saddam Hussein: a secular strongman with no connection to radical Islamic terror organizations? Not quite. His extensive record of cooperation with Islamic terrorist organizations

Why everyone from George W. Bush to Al Gore agrees that poverty is a major cause, if not the cause, of terrorism -- everyone, that is, except the scholars who actually study terrorists

Suitcase nukes? Relax: most of the information causing the fear over this has come from one Russian general who has changed his story many times

Colonel Oliver North: did he really warn America about the threat of Osama bin Laden back in the 1980s?

Did President Bush really say that Iraq was an "imminent threat" to America? What he really said -- and why it matters so much

Four overwhelming reasons why racial profiling would fail to make us any safer against terrorists

Borders out of control? How, as unlikely as it sounds, there are actually no known cases of Al Qaeda terrorists sneaking across the Mexican border

Why so many people are so eager to believe these War on Terror myths, no matter how outlandish they are

Five groups that are most likely to fall for these myths -- including liberals and antiwar crusaders

Do you have problems with bullet point items?

You may as well have said, "racial profiling" came out way before Michael Moore's movie.
