WTF Is It Now?!?

They tell loud lies, then whisper apologies
Robert Scheer:

It's hard to believe that it was just a slip of the tongue rather than a calculated lie when Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz sullied the memory of those who died on 9/11 by exploiting their deaths for propaganda purposes.

The brainwashing of Americans, two-thirds of whom believe Saddam Hussein was behind the attacks, is too effective a political ploy for the Bush regime to suddenly let the truth get in the way.

Even if the leaders of the Bush team were half as smart as they think they are, it would be amazing that they "misspoke" as often as they have.

The pattern is clear: Say what you want people to believe for the front page and on TV, then whisper a half-hearted correction or apology that slips under the radar.
