[midwayer]

Vice President Cheney made 51 misleading statements about the threat
posed by Iraq in 25 separate public appearances.

Although Ms. Rice had the fewest public appearances and the fewest misleading statements, she had the highest number of statements — 8 — that were false.

President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary Powell,
and National Security Advisor Rice repeatedly made misleading statements about
the threat posed by Iraq. They made these statements in 125 separate public
appearances. The total number of misleading statements made by the five
officials is 237.
The 237 misleading statements were made in a variety of forums. On 53
occasions, the five officials gave interviews in which they made claims that were
misleading. They also made misleading statements in 40 speeches, 26 press
conferences and briefings, 4 written statements and articles, and 2 appearances
before Congress.
The misleading statements began at least one year before the start of the war in
Iraq,

VI. CONCLUSION
Because of the gravity of the subject and the President’s unique access to classified information, members of Congress and the public expect the President and his senior officials to take special care to be balanced and accurate in describing national security threats. It does not appear, however, that President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary Powell, and National Security Advisor Rice met this standard in the case of Iraq. To the contrary, these five officials repeatedly made misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq. In 125 separate appearances, they made 11 misleading statements about the urgency of Iraq’s threat, 81 misleading statements about Iraq’s nuclear activities, 84 misleading statements about Iraq’s chemical and biological capabilities, and 61 misleading statements about Iraq’s relationship with al Qaeda.
