George W Bush Administration Propaganda for an Invasion of Iraq

The Absence of Evidence

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Hartenian's history of George W Bush propaganda for an invasion of Iraq returns the administration's approach to its conceptual origins. Hartenian places "evidence" in the center of his analysis, showing that Rumsfeld's "the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" meant that no evidence was necessary for an invasion.
