Can we trust Collin Powell's evidence given at the Security Council?

This is the history of the US Administration's lies to the world and to the American public.

a) They said there were 100,000 people in mass graves in Kosovo. That was a lie.

b)They said Iraqi soldiers were tossing babies out of incubators. That was a lie.

c)They said Iraqi troops in 1991 were massing on the Saudi border. That was a lie.

d)They said Saddam's attack on Kuwait was a total surprise. That was a lie.

e) They said US troops had no combat role in Central America in the 1980s. That was a lie.

Collin Powell mentioned during his Security Council speech an intelligence dossier presented by the British Government and heaped praise on it. The BBC's report cast doubt on its accuracy as nothing more than a plagiarised document from three separate articles, copied word for word.
