Ex-Bush Spokesman: Propaganda Used to Push War
Quote:
Ex-Bush spokesman: President used 'propaganda' to push war
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The spokesman who defended President Bush's policies through Hurricane Katrina and the early years of the Iraq war is now blasting his former employers, saying the Bush administration became mired in propaganda and political spin and at times played loose with the truth.

Wait!?!?!! Someone has written a book...a real book...about their days in the White House?!?!?!?!
And it's completely different from the statements and positions they took while actually in their White House job?!?!?!?
Amazing!?!?! This could not have possible happened before!?!?!? A one-of-a-kind event, no doubt!?!?!?!?!

Re: Ex-Bush Spokesman: Propaganda Used to Push War
Of course we all know that what is said in public is always exactly what is said behind closed doors and that our fearless leaders are above trickery and sculldoggery and (gasp) lying to the public and manipulating facts and the media in order to further their hidden agendas. Can anyone say "Vietnam" and "Iran/Contra" and "Gulf War"?

Re: Ex-Bush Spokesman: Propaganda Used to Push War
LOL!!! I wonder why these whistle blowers are never held accountable for not speaking up when it really mattered? It's really easy to be a brave boy when you no longer risk losing your job mid-shift.
I tend to admire the folks who speak up when they have nothing to gain and everything to lose.

I believe they are in a position where it is not ethical or it's an issue of loyalty, for the time, to speak.
It isn't much different than the "non-compete" agreements I've had to sign in business practice.

When it directly effects their paycheck people typically keep quiet. When they are left to think about it and mull it over in their minds and they feel safe they come out.
