Must Watch Interview – Iraq War Whistleblower Banned from Twitter Tells His Story
During my time in Iraq working for the State Department, a time that I initially was a red, white and blue government official, I frequently lied to the media. I lied to them about how things were going, I lied to them about how successful we were. My colleagues and I were contemptuous of them, most of the people we talked to in the media didn't know enough to ask important questions, most of them didn't care enough to ask questions and simply jotted down whatever we told them, and it was just remarkably easy to fool them. It's almost as if they wanted to play along with us.
