Orwell's "Ministry of Truth" functioning well in Washington

That the administration would selectively edit something so easily checked indicates a fundemental perverting of reality by Bush's flying monkeys.

Apparently no one in the administration learned a lesson from the Iraq failure about excising inconvenient truths from reports.

"White House Edits ABC News Then Takes it Back

ABC News' Jonathan Karl Reports

News flash -- The White House has selectively edited a report on Iraq, taking out negative information and distorting the report's meaning.

This isn't about intelligence or weapons of mass destruction. It's my report on Thursday's evening on World News with Charles Gibson.

The report noted "violence in Iraq is down and down considerably" in virtually every category, but my report also noted that "there has been almost no political progress on the national level" and that "U.S. officials know military gains won't mean much if the Iraqi government doesn't get its act together."

The White House sent out an edited version of my report in an official White House publication called "White House Iraq Update."

Dear Mr. President Bush: You should never, never have given JD that wedgie back in 3rd grade. I voted for you in both elections, in fact, since I live in a region controlled by democrats I was able to vote several times each. Thank you for having a MILF wife but your daughters are limo skanks (thanks for that, too.) LW
