Antiwar.com Needs Your Help to Keep Going

JAIL THE WAR PARTY!

They lied us into war – and, if there's any justice in this world, they have to pay for their crimes.

The War Party lied about "weapons of mass destruction." They lied about Iraq's "links" to al-Qaeda. They lied about Saddam's nonexistent nukes.

They lied about everything – and then scrambled to cover their tracks. In doing so, they committed a number of crimes along the way – outing a CIA agent, covering up a forgery, committing perjury, engaging in a criminal conspiracy, and perhaps even enabling espionage.

These thugs belong in jail. Won't you help us put them there?

For years we've been writing about their crimes, investigating the facts, and giving you the news you don't get in the "mainstream" media – and now that these multiple scandals are finally breaking, we are turning to you, our readers and supporters, for the help we need to stay online.

Way back in October 2003, we nailed Dick Cheney's office as the nesting place of the culprits and wrote that the Plame affair "throws the spotlight on an even bigger crime" – the fabrication of the case for war. We named names, and kept naming them, without fear or favor, and with a scrupulous attention to the facts.

Now it looks like federal prosecutors are taking up where the investigative journalists left off. For once, it's just possible that justice will be done: we have a chance to take back American foreign policy from the perpetrators of a criminal war, who have no sense of either legality or morality. But we can't do it without your help. Let's keep the pressure on!

Your contribution is absolutely essential – and now is the time to make it.


In the first three days of our drive, 403 of you gave a total of $22,290. We are falling behind in trying to reach the goal of $60,000 to keep Antiwar.com running for the next quarter. Please help.
