Rummy's crusade - disturbing reminders

Peddling the holy war - a slideshow of the first pages of top-secret intelligence briefings produced by Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon trying to drum up support for the Iraq war. In retrospect, one is almost glad that worse things did not befall the world. 



In the days surrounding the U.S. invasion of Iraq, cover sheets began adorning top-secret intelligence briefings produced by Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon. The sheets juxtaposed war images with inspirational Bible quotes and were delivered by Rumsfeld himself to the White House, where they were read by the man who, just after September 11, referred to America's war on terror as a 'crusade'.
