Interesting article. The Independent accuses the US gov't of 'lying' and then fails to cite one instance in the article of the US gov't having 'lied.'
accused US authorities of concocting lies to hide what had happened on 8 April last year, and a subsequent official "investigation" was nothing more than a whitewash.Note the Guardian's artful use of "quotes" with "investigation." Are they saying there was no investigation? Hard to say.
And yeah, there's no there, there. Unless you're a French (or Guardian) "journalist" looking for fine gradations of semiotic nuance.
Besides, only the French could come up with something as pompous as Reporters Sans Frontières, an NGO which operates out of hotel bars worldwide.
Much as the left has redefined what moderate (leftwing) and extremist (not leftwing) mean, they are now in the process of redefining a lie to be any statement they didn't want to hear.
Rightwingers read 1984 for how to avoid such a horrific future - for the Left it is a useful tip book.
