Lie there and take it

The Bushists lie. Ho hum, that's not news.

When they hide evidence and then destroy it, they claim the problem is that the court didn't ask specifically enough for tapes the court didn't know existed.

But even that is a lie. One court was still asking for evidence specific to the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah as the decision to destroy the videotapes was being made. The government was still submitting summaries that conveniently neglected to mention that the tapes ever existed.

The Bushists protect lies with a bodyguard of lies. There's no truth at the middle of this onion.
