Lying Liars and the Lies They Tell

by mistermix

Here’s the ex-Baghdad bureau chief of the Post:

Donald Rumsfeld held a news conference at the Pentagon to say that U.S. press reports of killings—such as mine that estimated 1,300 dead in the immediate aftermath of the bombing, based on what I had seen at the morgue, interviews with Sunni survivors, UN and Iraq health officials—were calculated “exaggerated reporting.” <...>

Thanks to Wikileaks, though, I now know the extent to which top American leaders lied, knowingly, to the American public, to American troops, and to the world, as the Iraq mission exploded.

The American troops, who were risking their lives on the ground, witnessed and documented it themselves.

Of course, none of this matters because it’s all in the past and Julian Assange said something stupid on Twitter.
