lies" in the title were uncovered in a three-year study of the rush to war in iraq by the center for public integrity and the fund for independence in journalism. it is, lewis writes, a record of what "u.s. government officials said to cause most americans and their elected representatives to completely ignore facts, logic, and reason." timely, too, for another reason -- 50 years ago this august, president lyndon johnson, at whose side i was then working, seized on obscure and unverified events on the other side of the world to rush congress into the gulf of tonkin resolution, a motion that he turned into a blank check for escalating the war in vietnam. as chuck lewis rightly says, it was "a monumental misrepresentation." welcome. >> welcome. >> it's great to be here. >> do you think george w. bush lied about iraq? do you think lyndon johnson lied about vietnam? >> yes. i do. you know, i've -- i tried very hard. you know, in the case of bush, i actually was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. because if someone believes it, if it's a matter of conviction and they've persuaded themselves of s

dave leven that will is a tr reporter at the center for public integrity, good to see you. good. the house is going to stay in session, work, get something done tomorrow on this border funding bill. will we see the senate pass the bill or will they postpone the session and try to get something done here? >> congress has a wonderful way in the 11th hour, before they are going to go on vacation to get as much done as they can in this short a period of time as they can. given that, and the history, and the crises that congress faced, it would seem that they would move forward as quickly as possible. there's no better indication than rick perry, the governor of texas coming out with a statement saying you better get back to work and better not go back to your districts during the summer and pol tick while there's a crisis. get it done. >> a good point. >> sounding very presidential. >> that's a great point. i want to get to that in greater detail in a moment. assuming each side gets a bill passed - we are talking major differences - is there time to get the bill passed and get them r

according to a new report by the center for public integrity so congressman since then has been working very hard to allow more arsenic unknown dangerous toxin in the drinking water of his constituents and guess why it's not because he's necessarily an evil villain it's because it's expensive to build water filtration facilities hill tray ssion places a big financial burden on small towns with lots of arsenic it's a budget nightmare for them to meet the standards so in says most he's helping his constituents by fighting to allow them to drink more arsenic and that is the kind of weird logic that is a direct result of the fact that we live on planet money that's what we get for worshipping money and if we keep putting money above everything else it won't be known until our government figures out that the cheapest constituent to care for is a dead constituent i wouldn't be surprised if they already have tonight.

the center for public integrity says the two leading maritime unions, for instance, gave more than $750,000mbers of the current house of representatives in the 2012 election cycle. and the center says, those members of congress, republicans and democrats, receiving that money, voted against dr. shah's efforts to reform the program 83-29. >> i have to admit, i just don't understand. i get the idea of bureaucracy, but when you are talking about people starving, a program that takes three months to get food, ship food and deliver it to them, i mean, they're going to die. >> we want to reach as many as we can as efficiently as possible. this is an extraordinarily difficult problem. >> after five years of pushing, dr. shah has the flexibility to spend about 20% of the funds the way that he sees fit. that, in his view, is not nearly enough and leaves too many people in need for far too long. >>> coming up next, it started as an noanonymous tip. captain obvious: i always use hotels.com. with their loyalty program, i get a free night for every ten nights i collect. so they're not the same, because

in afghanistan seemed like a good idea four years ago but an ig report obtained by the center for public integrity shows the project may have been doomed from the get go. the climate in afghanistan is incompatible with soy production and more importantly many afghans don't even like soy products. in a letter to agriculture secretary, the ig said the poor results quote should have been expected. instead american taxpayers are $34 million in the hole without having raised protein levels in afghan diets at all. >>> the epa is stopping a big profitable enterprise in its tracks before it even got started. critics say this is another example of the federal government overstepping its bounds. correspondent dan springer has more on the pebble mine. >> reporter: the environmental protection agency is under fire for a preemptive strike against the pebble mine in alaska. it's the largest deposit of copper and gold in america. environmental groups and fishermen worried about the impacts to the world's largest salmon run in bristol bay fought the bay from the beginning. >> people from alaska asked the epa to c

from the center of public integrity, and i quote, the united states military was no match for afghans' corruption. and from "the world affairs journal," and i quote, money pit. the monstrous failure of u.s. aid to afghanistan. mr. speaker, all of these reports detail a shocking misuse of american taxpayers' dollar with little to no accountability. my question to mr. work was this -- how can the pentagon in good conscious request this money given the waste, fraud and abuse that we continue to see with american resources in afghanistan? mr. speaker, this is money that we could be using right here in america to care for our many wounded veterans, rebuild our country, our schools, our roads, our infrastructure and yet every day we continue to spend billions and billions overseas with, as i said earlier, with just little accountability. as my good friend, pat buchanan, has said and i quote, is it not a symptom of sinility to be borne from the world so we can defend the world? let me repeat that one more time. is it not a symptom of sinility to be borne from the world so we can defend the w
