Lies, damned lies, and the Pentagon (Part I)
Like him or not, Hitchens is absolutely right about this: "The revelation that Defense Department money, not even authorized by Congress for the purpose, has been outsourced to private interests and then used to plant stories in the Iraqi press is much more of a disgrace and a scandal than anyone seems so far to have said."
Read on to find out exactly why. (Although it's hard to believe he's so shocked by this. Does he not understand how the Bush Administration works?)

No lie necessary, once the story got out, which was inevitable, any pro-US or positive story, true or not, will be dismissed as a plant.
Anyway, I came in here originally to say that if Hitchens had understood how the Bush Administration worked, he would not have supported the war to begin with.
(To be fair, the same is true of myself)
