Name that Spinner.

Who is the information architect behind these carefully crafted evasions, Ari Fleischer or Baghdad Bob?

1."All I ask is check yourself. Do not in fact repeat their lies."

2."You are there. You are on the ground. And you will find the answers, and they will speak volumes themselves."

3."I have detailed information about the situation...which completely proves that what they allege are illusions . . . They lie every day."

4."And the use of force is being pursued to help make this get settled in the most peaceful way possible. We shall see what the ultimate outcome is."

5."We're giving them a real lesson today. Heavy doesn't accurately describe the level of casualties we have inflicted."

6."This battle has not stopped from day one. It just -- on any particular day, you may see more of one element of combat power being applied than another element: air power, land power, information power, communications power, intelligence power. These are all part of a single campaign, a single battle plan."

7."If you think the story is written and done, then I can't change your interpretation of it. But I'm suggesting to you that you might want to think twice before you leap to final conclusions."

8."I think you know that any attempts to do anything that would be said to be lies would not possibly work and should not be done.

9."I tell you things and I always ask you to verify what I say. "
