Bush Mired in Stealth, Lies and Cover-Ups: Margaret Carlson

By Margaret Carlson
April 26 (Bloomberg) -- The Bush administration will do, say and spend anything to maintain its façade of command and control.

To hear them tell it, the administration would be winning the war, if only those traitorous Democrats would stop pointing out that they aren't. Everything would be fine at Walter Reed Army Hospital and likewise New Orleans, if only the locals weren't wasting money. Those fired U.S. attorneys? Mishandled maybe, but they were properly let go ``for performance-related reasons.''

Two of the most disgraceful attempts to replace the truth with propaganda were brought to vivid light on Tuesday at a congressional inquiry into the death of Corporal Pat Tillman, killed by friendly fire in 2004, and the capture of Private Jessica Lynch.


.................

Lies like the ones told in the Lynch and Tillman cases aren't blurted out in the heat of the moment, but require planning and an understanding by mid-level officials that forces higher than themselves want them to lie.
