Wedell discusses the "massive and concerted â€‹'informationâ€‹' effort conducted by the Neocon core and their associates, with crucial participation from certain columnists and reporters, that was essential in taking the United States to war in Iraqâ€‹."â€‹
"â€‹....â€‹beginning in the mid-1970s, they employed methods ranging from the creation of alternative intelligence; to might-be-authorized, might-not-be authorized diplomacy; to setting up pressure groups; to suspending standard government process, always contesting government information, assessments, and expertise. These methodsâ€”perfected over the yearsâ€”would be deployed in full force in the Neocon coreâ€™s effort to take the United States to war in 2003..
