It's good to hear that from Joe I guess he'll report that Israel is going to bomb Iran for no reason but with candor. Now Israel and Joe baby can watch China/Russia use their Nukes to protect Iran from the illegal attack with candor. Then we will see Peace in the Middle East as the Palestinians will have the property back which was stolen by the UN in 1947.

Well before Jesus there where people that believed in a Sun God and the Sun God's son (horace?). During Constinine's reign over the Roman Empire, he had a group of people 'normalize' christianity meaning they decided which stories to 'keep' as being the truth - Mathew, Mark, Luke and John - were the choosen ones. Anyone believing other wise was 'converted' or murdered. The great library in Alexandria was torched. Fortunately, the Rosetta stone was found and helps us now confirm that many of the biblical stories came well before the supposed life of Jesus. It would be easy to see how 'history' could be easily altered in a time when most people where illiterate. Nowadays, changing history is a bit tougher. Comment by JPV — December 7, 2007 @ 3:26 pm

In his essay Looking Back on the Spanish War, published four years before Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell wrote: <blockquote> Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as "the truth" exists. […] The implied objective of this line of thought is a nightmare world in which the Leader, or some ruling clique, controls not only the future but the past. If the Leader says of such and such an event, "It never happened"—well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five—well, two and two are five.

I mean, it is a case of the CIA director admitting destuction of evidence, and admitting it only when it was about to be revealed in the press. Not even a BushCo tool like Joke Line could really think that is "candor", can he? He must have been sarcastic.
