Tell Me No Lies

That is the title of a book I'm reading now by John Pilger. It's about stories despatched by journalists covering major incidents around the world in recent times, including first accounts of the Hiroshima bombing, from Palestine, the massacre at Sabra and Chatila refugee camps in Lebanon, the seige at Falluja in Iraq, My Lai in the Vietnam war, Rwanda and many others. Story on how voters were 'lost' in Florida during the last American presidential election was also covered. Very interesting and captivating reading. What is morrying is that the trend continues in that more lies are being told during the present conflict against so-called terrorists around the world. And people believe them.Where's the WMD Georgie boy?
