More Important than You, and Lying About it.

James Bovard on manipulations on the perceptions of the commercial airline industry by the Bush cabinet.

The main goals of the government appear to have been:

(1) Cover your tuckus.

(2) Restore faith in governmnent.

(3) Get people flying again to keep the airlines running; even if you have to lie to do it.

Given this, I wonder whether or not the November 12, 2001 airplane crash maybe really was a terrorist attack, despite it being deemed an accident.

Also, given that the administration would lie about how much security its cabinet used in order to get people to board planes, how much less should we trust them on the bigger issues, such as how the War in Iraq is going?

That is all.
