The Big Lie

We've all heard the phrase: "Repeat a lie enough times and it becomes truth." Well the ACLU is hoping that that is exactly the case as Harold C. Hutchison of Strategy Page writes The Big Lie, Repeated, Works

January 8, 2007: Several media outlets have been citing FBI documents claiming mistreatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. However, these documents are the basis of what is really a big non-story. Why? Because the allegations of torture based on these documents have already been investigated by the Department of Defense (DOD) in 2005 and found to have no basis in fact.

The documents in question? They are the same FBI memos that formed the basis of Senator Richard Durbin's comparison of Guantanamo Bay to the actions of the Nazis and Khmer Rouge, and have been released in the course of a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union.

Now for what the media and ACLU won't tell you. The DOD investigations in 2004 and 2005 turned up very few incidents of mistreatment, and those incidents that did occur were often dealt with on the spot.

For some reason I'm not suprised one bit by the ACLU's lowly tricks.
