Is a government suborned columnist a lie?

Bowser — 8/17/2007 10:35:15 PM (archived)

Was Tillman a lie? Was Lynch a lie? Was the use of white phosphorous against civilians lied about? Was Abu Ghraib lied about? Should a person expect honesty from their government more than from private enterprise? Etc.

Heh, heh. Yer outrage is hollow. And that's the kind word.
