Lying for Empire: How to Commit War Crimes With a Straight Face

By David Model

Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, G. H. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush. No president has been publicly tried for committing a war crime. Yet these presidents have committed them while invoking threats of Communism, terrorism and the loss of American lives.

To win popular support for these foreign adventures, these presidents have lied to the American people, resulting in the loss of millions of innocent lives as in Vietnam or Iraq. These actions clearly violated international law and constituted war crimes.

David Model is a professor of political science and economics at Seneca College in Toronto. He has previously written People Before Profits: Reversing the Corporate Agenda and Corporate Rule: Understanding and Challenging the New World Order.

Great

Everything was great. The author seems a little biased towards liberal thinking but deals equally with LBJ, Truman, and Slick Willy and the so-called conservatives.

The false left/right paradigm that our media constantly reinforces is one of the biggest weapons of the global elite. A worthwhile read. \\\9/11 was an inside job/// [...]
