Another Bush Lie

Surprise surprise surprise! President Bush and his henchmen (and henchwomen) repeatedly said Newsweek was wrong wrong wrong and that there was no desecration of the Koran in Gitmo. Bush said the report was absurd.

Well, as one would expect, the Koran was desecrated multiple times, urinated on, and kicked. So Friday night, in the best tradition of Ronald Reagan's friday night news dumps, the information was released.

Of course we all knew they were lying the whole time. They used this issue to try another smear on our independent press, one of Karl Rove's ancient tactics. Maybe the press will finally see this is a fight they are losing - and anything less than a thorough and independent telling of this story will constitue a major failure on their part. I have a feeling Isiskoff and Newsweek are planning to do just that. Stay tuned.
