Weapons of Mass Deception

This punning alteration accuses the Bush administration of using the war in Iraq to draw the nation's attention away from other problems, such as the economic recession of 2002.

Weapons of Mass Deception was used as the title of a nonfiction book by Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber.

This book focused specifically on the PR tactics and techniques of the Bush administration after the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Weapons of Mass Deception was also used as the title of a documentary produced by Danny Schechter which originally aired on HBO.
