AN ABSURD QUESTION

Whom to believe, Seymour Hersh or the Bush regime? Given the regime’s
track record, can there be any doubt? The comprehensive report that found no WMD in Iraq — which
contradicted nearly every prewar assertion about Iraq made by the regime’s top officials
— ought to make clear that the regime can’t be believed. And so should its other exposed lies
about Iraq, such as the fine progress we’ve made there, and now about Social Security’s so-called
imminent crisis. The trouble is, the government’s practiced crisis-mongering has
become standard operating procedure; the November election put paid to accountability; and
we’re stuck with Georgie Boy, as well as his lies, for the next four years.
