Freedom's Watch $15 Million Propaganda Campaign

I thought it was settled that Iraq had nothing to do with September 11th. Then I watched Freedom’s Watch’s new ads and witnessed a blatant attempt to rewrite history and reframe the current Iraq debate. Freedom’s Watch attempts to tie September 11th to the Iraq War and the Iraq war to the war against al-Qaeda. According to the organization they plan on spending $15 million to play the ads in 20 states they believe to be home to various congressional members who are presently on the fence over future Iraq War policy.

Former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer is Freedom’s Watch’s spokesman and can be seen here defending their ridiculous ads on Hardball. Fleischer, however, had a hard time answering Mike Barnicle’s question about how many of the September 11th hijackers were from Iraq.
