Stop lying, George - der Spiegel looks at the ISG

how very interesting...! somehow, the u.s. media didn't quite lay it out like this...
We were particularly drawn to Recommendations 46, 72 and 78. Under separate headings dealing with the military, the federal budget and the nation's intelligence agencies, they share one basic idea: Government officials should not lie to the public or each other, especially in matters of war.

One should not need a blue ribbon commission to know that. But the fact that it had to be said, and so often, in the report goes a long way toward explaining how Bush got the country into the Iraq mess and why it is proving so hard to dig out of it.

it might also go a long way toward explaining why the white house is so very cool on accepting any of the isg recommendations...
