More on Operation Photo-op
"The question is, should the government engage in lying in order to essentially ... protect a photo op? The answer is, no it shouldn't. It's a serious business when government lies, and eventually it does hurt a government and a president's credibility." - - David Wise, author of The Politics of Lying.

Loren Russell in a letter to Stars and Stripes. For security reasons, only those pre-selected got into the facility during Bush’s visit.
