'BradCast' 7/6/2016 (The Intercept's Jon Schwarz on the Chilcot Report, Bush, Blair and unlearned lessons of mass deception)
b"Today's release of the Chilcot Report in the UK -- the result of an exhaustive seven-year investigation of then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair's 2003 decision to go to war in Iraq -- opens up many old wounds.\\xa0 Not the least of which is the reminder that those of us shouting about the 'Downing Street Memo' back in 2005 -- the leaked British memo charging that the George W. Bush administration was 'fixing' the 'intelligence and facts...around the policy' of invading Iraq no matter what -- were right then and are still right today. The Intercept's Jon Schwarz joins us to talk about the revelations in the Chilcot Report, how the mainstream corporate media ignored the facts back in 2005, and whether or not there has been any accountability or lessons learned today. Also on today's program: Obama announces he will leave 8,400 troops in Afghanistan upon leaving office, and Gretchen Carlson, recently terminated from Fox News, sues the fake news channel's chief Roger Ailes over sexual harassment."
