Lies
Why does nobody in the mainstream media call this administration on its abundant lies? Here are a couple links on this. The first is Rummy getting questioned about lying about the intelligence on Iraq. The sparse coverage I saw of this implied some liberal heckler unreasonably hounded poor Donald. In fact, the questioner is CIA veteran Ray McGovern, no stranger to the prewar intel. I think what I find so sad about the video is the rude reception McGovern gets. At one point it sounds like they try to escort him away or take the microphone from him. What does that say of our society when so many seek to squash dissent rather than face its ugly truths? The other is a nice summary by Atrios about lies concerning the president's ability to speak Spanish. I was struck by this after talking to my dad the other day about Ari Fleischer. I told him I'd get sick of repeatedly lying for the administration, and he said that was my opinion. This is from Scott McLellan, but I'm sure you could find just as much from Fleischer. It's such a bold-faced lie, I have a hard time seeing how somebody could still think its mere opinion I think they lie to us. It's time to pay more attention.
