>>How Long Have They Been Lying Like This? (from a longish article about Saddam's palaces) . . . . A captured Iraqi colonel being held in one of the hangars listened in astonishment as his information minister praised Republican Guard soldiers for recapturing the airport.

He looked at his captors and, as he realised that what he had heard was palpably untrue, his eye filled with tears. Turning to a translator, he asked: "How long have they been lying like this?"<<

This is why we don't shut off the Iraqi Information Minister, IMO. At some point cognitive dissonance will cause awakening.
