Iraq War Confessions From Inside the Bush Administration

In the wake of Donald Trump's accusations against the Bush administration for lying about "Weapons of Mass Destruction" and failing to keep Americans save from terrorism, TYT's Eric Byler interviewed Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff for Secretary of State Colin Powell during the first term of the George W. Bush administration. Among veterans of the administration, Wilkerson is the most honest, most humble, and most outspoken critic of the abuse of intelligence during the selling of the Iraq War, a determined public relations campaign in which he regrettably played a role.

Byler asked Wilkerson, "What should a responsible citizen know about the run up to the Iraq war, your role, Secretary Powell's role, and the use of intelligence?"
