White House Backs Away From Newsweek Claims

McClellan just lies like a rug: At a WH press briefing, Press Sec McClellan,( grilled by reporters and w/ Afghan Pres Karzai in disagreement) retreated on claims that Newsweek's retracted story on Koran abuse cost lives in Afghanistan. McClellan also claimed that he had never said it did, even though a check of transcripts disproves that. On May 16 he said: "people have lost their lives." On May 17 he said: "People did lose their lives," and: "People lost their lives" due to the Newsweek report. How nice: They don't have to admit they were wrong... They just deny that they said it in the 1st place. So what if dozens of people were present that can prove that it was said & it's on tape, and many millions have seen the tape, it doesn't mean it actually happened. B/c you just can't be wrong if you didn't say the thing that was wrong, can you? Nothing could be simpler, and it is so damn handy, let me show you: 1st it was Iraq has WMDs, then it became Iraq has WMD programs, then that became Iraq has no WMDs, and then that became Iraq needs liberated from the leader who could have thought about acquiring WMDs... aaah... ain't propaganda great?
