Cole’s Opposition to Iraq War in January, 2003

The Neocons, masters of disinformation, keep trying to put it about (and it is in my current Wikipedia article) that I somehow was initially supportive of the idea of going to war with Iraq. I was not. I thought it was a horrible idea and would end badly. I was going through my private email [...]
