We all accept that mistakes happen. What I personally don't like are official lies and cover-ups, especially when time has elapsed and the true facts that can be determined. In this case, large numbers of reporters were able to confirm the truth, and hence the lies of our own spokesmen. If they lie about this, how do we know when they tell the truth? -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

In reply to: Spock 's message, "I'd say if the Iraqi regime has adopted a strategy of setting up snipers where return fire endangers civilians, it's par for the course. BTW, there is no such thing as a "safe" war, and its foolish to think no one outside the military will get hurt. Doesn't mean it's intentional. If you hit a rabbit while driving, does that mean you meant to?" on 11:35:08 04/10/03 Thu

[> [> [> [> Large numbers of reporters lied to us about what Clinton and the Dmoicrats were doing for 8 years and what a great statesman Fidel Castro and Arafat are and about that false story with nerve gas in Vietnam. Why should we believe reporters who started out hostile before anything happened any more than anyone else? Reporters lie and distort constantly. Few report neutrally. Many have been caught in outright lies as well as plagiarism. -- SG, 11:24:28 04/13/03 Sun (pcp01422563pcs.lndsd201.pa.comcast.net/68.81.153.209)
