Politics Central: David Corn on The Selling of the Iraq War

“Hubris applies to people who believe that they know best; that they know better than the experts. They believe that their view of the world trumps the experts and everybody else…. They put their presumptions, what they believed to be true, ahead of the evidence. Every component of the disaster that has occured in the war… was written about by folks in and out of the White House prior to the invasion.” — David Corn

Pajamas Media Special Correspondent Andrew Keen interviews David Corn, the author of the best-selling Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War. Corn is also the Washington editor for The Nation. He blogs @ David Corn.Com.
