I don't think so...this is the beginning of them saying the copies thay have are fake, but the info is real.
I think you're right. Liberals have often been caught lying in the past. They always say the same thing when cornered. they say, Yeah, may the information isn't strictly true at one level, but it has an "inner truth" and raises issues that need to be seriously considered -- or some such weasel-worded bull s*** like that.
