BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA – Winston Churchill once said that, in wartime, truth was so precious that it needed to be surrounded by a “bodyguard of lies.” In America’s presidential campaign – and, sadly, within Iraq itself nowadays – the Iraq War may not be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies, but it has certainly picked up a vast entourage of partisan half-truths, cynical indifference, and uninformed stubbornness.
印第安纳州布隆明顿&#45;&#45;丘吉尔曾经说过，在战争时代真相极为宝贵，必须要用“谎言保镖”层层围住。在美国总统选举中，以及不幸的是如今在伊拉克本身，伊拉克战争就是被谎言保镖围住。但是这一战争显然又增加了一大堆党派偏见造成的半对办错、玩世不恭的漠不关心以及无知的顽固。
