Chilling article on our Orwellian White House...

[NewJeffCT]

From today's Washington Post, though I am sure nobody here is that surprised by this:

I think we should keep mentioning the $1.7 billion.

It's not quite Soviet-style airbrushing, but the Bush administration has been using cyberspace to make some of its own cosmetic touch-ups to history.

White House officials were steamed when Andrew S. Natsios, the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, said earlier this year that U.S. taxpayers would not have to pay more than $1.7 billion to reconstruct Iraq -- which turned out to be a gross understatement of the tens of billions of dollars the government now expects to spend.
