Angry Bloody Liars
WHY do we have to be lied to by our so called leaders ?

Quote:
Jessica Lynch, the US soldier freed in a rescue raid after being wounded and captured in the early days of the Iraq war, has accused the US military of lying about her and the operation to free her.Ms Lynch said the story of her capture and release had been distorted by army chiefs to portray the military in a favourable light.

What a surprise. :

I'm sure the honorable, objective media had nothing to do with such a betrayal of the American trust.

It gets even worse --just seen news a few minutes ago -- soldier saying he was ordered not to make statement to truth -- the fact that Tillman was killed by friendly fire .
Of course after that , the BS began to fly.
Why the truth is enemy -- I dont know , but as American citizens , we are getting used to it. >f

Because the thread starter prefers the "shock value" and deliberatly posts to inflame passion and emotion. The title "bloody liars", which is technically innacurate (otherwise all of use are "bloody liars" every day of our lives) is much more inflammatory then the other thread. If you do a search on the thread starter's name as to threads started, you'll see that's a common theme.

Not just organizations, but all of us--there isn't a one of us that hasn't portrayed ourselves in a favorable light at one time or another. Is that lying?

In the UK too, but why? and for what reason are we subjected to such lies? Is it short term political gain or what

As for the threads header, well, I cannot think of a more fitting or apt title. But then again, Lies, Lies and more Lies might have been more appropriate

I read the article but can find no details about how the military (or anyone else) distorted Ms Lynch escape. The details I remember is she was spotted by an Iraqe civilian, who was given some method of escaping Iraq for his help, but the military released her as I recall from a hospital.
The main hero of that situation seemed to be the civilian, who risked his safety.
What was the distortion Ms Lynch feels happened?

You are right, the media in general has tried to put a sheen on this turd!
