“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’”

These stories are emblematic of an administration and culture that’s far more concerned with controlling the message than with freedom and democracy. The war in Iraq has cost much more than the lives lost and the treasure spent, it’s robbing our nation’s very identity.

Thanks for sharing this story that seems to fly under the radar all too often.
