Ed Naha: ''Hello,' they lied'

[Sequoia]

(Great article but please do not use the loser's face for the great Napoleon who actually went to war. Sure he made mistakes, but to compare that monkey with Napoleon is a compliment; Pol Pot would be more appropriate.)

Remember the good old days when, if our government made a mistake, it readily admitted it? Naaah, me neither. I am, however, always awestruck by the way members of this Administration can stare into a TV camera and consistently lie through their teeth. It's a talent they've elevated into an art form of the caliber not seen since "Hogan's Heroes'" Sergeant Shultz uttered the immortal line: "I know nussing! NUSSING!"

Today, we have a group of Shultzes laying out the groundwork for a new war. Forget Afghan warlords, forget the Taliban, al-Qaida and Iraqi insurgents. Our new enemy is a huge group of radicals: the members of Amnesty International.

Yes, that's right, those brigands who've been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and the United Nations Human Rights Award are now in BushCo.'s cross-hairs. Wielding the truth-impaired scatter gun? Our country's version of the Marx Brothers: Meyers, Cheney, Junior and Rummy.

The truth hit the fan last week when Amnesty's Annual Report concluded that the U.S.'s "detainee" camp at Guantanamo (aka: Gitmo) amounted to nothing short of "the gulag of our time."
