We've been lied to so often that, even when it MIGHT be the truth, I don't believe it

here's what i said on wednesday when this story broke...

do we really think for one minute that an inspectors general report affirming deliberate deception would ever even get written much less see the light of day...?

well, gol'durn it, whaddaya know...

The Defense Department’s watchdog agency said Friday that it had no evidence that senior Pentagon commanders intentionally provided false testimony to the Sept. 11 commission about the military’s actions on the morning of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The agency, the Pentagon’s office of inspector general, said the Defense Department’s initial inaccurate accounts could be attributed largely to poor record-keeping.

isn't it a shame that things have gotten to the point where, even if they ARE telling the truth, i don't believe 'em...?
