About a passage in the new Guardian article and Clear Channel
I wanted to start a new thread on this because it's just so maddening. Here's the passage I'm referring to in the Guardian...

That Iraq was lynched by Bush and Blair has become plain as a pikestaff. Take the saving of Private Jessica. Said at first to have been shot and held hostage by Iraqi doctors, and now revealed to have been in their care after a road traffic accident, her story serves as a metaphor for the mendacity so deep and treacly-black it might be an oil sump: from the 45-minute warning to the banks of the Niger and the sweepings of the internet floor.

Now, when I went to Port of Subs earlier to get my lunch, they were playing some Clear Channel radio station and I heard their news reporter repeat the story that Jessica Lynch was "rescued" from the Iraqis, while reporting some related story. When are those assholes going to stop lying??

1. Just a short, definitive answer to the question:
When are those assholes going to stop lying??

Never.
