In an amazing bit of irony,

Pat Tillman, whose death was the source of HUGE lies from the Bushies, first mission as an Army Ranger was to help rescue Jessica Lynch, whose entire story was the source of HUGE lies from the Bushies. Jessica was injured in a vehicle accident, but the official line was that she went down with gun blazing, til she ran out of ammo, then was shot and raped by the Iraqis. BUT, in reality, after her 'captors' gave their own blood to keep her alive and contacted the US to come and pick her up, the military decided instead on a huge raid, with a bunch of special forces, complete with cameramen, to liberate her. There was no resistance, but they shot some hospital workers anyway and the Bushies got their propaganda film. Months later Jessica told the true story of how well she was treated after being injured when her vehicle ran off the road, in the dark, after getting lost. Jim Wilkinson, a fellow Texan, who was in Bush's campaign, did such a good job, when he planted the 'Al Gore says he invented the internet' story, (which Gore NEVER said), that Bush appointed him 'Perception Manager', (translated 'official liar') in Iraq, fed the Jessica Lynch lies to the eager press. Jim also totally made up the story about Iraqis surrendering, with a white flag, then killing 18 US soldiers. Totally false, but it explained away how 17 of 18 soldiers killed the first day, were from friendly fire, a fact that didn't come out for months. In fact it was about the same time the military made up all the 'facts' surrounding Pat Tillman's death, which was also from 'friendly fire'. Iraq, a war based on Bush lies from beginning to end.

The friendly fire deaths, and lies that followed, are all documented in the Tillman book, down to the names of the Warthog pilots and each Marine they killed, how and where. It didn't come out until they did the same thing with British soldiers and the Brits actually investigated and reported it.

and you should know, because everything you read is the absolute truth, right?

It's all 'on the record' now. Official, whether you like it or not. Not even disputed.
