"You naively assume they will believe this."
Listening to the NPR reporter in the Middle East on the way home would disabuse anyone of the notion that facts are going to get in the way of their opinions.The reporter I was listening to said that the administration was reporting that the Iraquis were using civilians as human shields, but " we have no independent confirmation of that." I am wearing myself out yelling at the radio.

Congratulations for your remarkable constraint. I usually wind up pounding on the radio when I listen to that crap (NPR is the only news on the radio as I drive to work).
