New Report Reveals Systematic, Blatant Lying about Afghanistan

A study of the War in Afghanistan published by the Washington Post demonstrates how the U.S. public has been systematically misled and how the versions presented by government spokespeople and politicians have been diametrically opposed to what military personal on the ground were saying. Once in a (long) while the U.S. media in its reporting on foreign policy and affairs gets it right. But  what the Washington Post isn’t saying is that this systematic lying has characterized U.S. interventionism throughout the world since the end of World War II, if not before. “Remember the Maine.” Remember the Pentagon Papers. And those are just two cases. There are scores and scores, if not hundreds, of others.
