I don't either, because I believe people are liars and cheats anyway if they have gotten into a place of authority. Honest men do not prosper in power and politics.
I also believe anyone in any country is very capable of and very likely to slant things, change things or lie outright to achieve their goals. If the Iraqis felt lying, exaggerating or distorting the truth would help further sway public opinion against the US, I have no doubt they'd do it.
What's getting to me is the Iraqis = and the US = slant on things I have seen in so many posts here.
People can make fun of PLEBA all they want, I'd much rather argue about Bono's hair or Edge's beanie than to get my nerves torn up over stuff like this
