There were people who spoke up, there were protests. Even on TV there were plenty of dissidents. Just not enough. As for reporters, they definitely knew. There was enough public evidence that proved the WMD stories were wrong, and they did their best to talk around it. Maybe that’s true of your community, but I don’t think it’s true of the whole US.

Of course, it could be a case where everybody thought it was bullshit, but they didn't want to speak up because they thought everybody else believed it was true and were afraid of getting ostracized, but whatever. I guess my point is, we were duped into this war by exploitation of 9/11 by the Bush administration. He bet that our fear after that tragedy would make us believe anything, and he won. Also, I doubt that news reporters knew that their reports were false, because they can barely dress themselves in the morning.
