US admits its reports from war zones are completely unreliable; skeptics still considered freedom-haters

NYT: "Indeed, senior military officials in Washington say public affairs officers in war zones might, by choice or under pressure, issue statements to world news media that, while having elements of truth, are clearly devised primarily to provoke a response from the enemy."

So, the government lies, admits that it lies, but expects us to swallow the lies as truth anyway.
