Jim Lobe of Asia Times on The truth, the whole truth and nothing but …:
When all three major US newsweeklies – Time, Newsweek and US News & World Report – run major features on the same day on possible government lying, you can bet you have the makings of a major scandal.
And when the two most important outlets of neo-conservative opinion – The Weekly Standard and The Wall Street Journal – come out on the same days with lead editorials spluttering outrage about suggestions of government lying, you can bet that things are going to get very hot as summer approaches in Washington.
If lying about marital infidelity in response to an off-topic question during a particular investigation is enough to get impeached, then surely lies that get people killed are far worse and deserving of the same punishment. At the very least.
Except in this town.
