We all know that we're in a conflict with a very large propaganda component.

So in an extremely pivotal event like the killing of bin Laden, of course they will have thought out the best way to control the information and control the messaging.

I'm not outraged at this reality, I've come to accept it at some level. My attitude is basically I don't like the government lying to us, but what are you gonna do?

But what I definitely do NOT want to do is to play along like everything they tell us is true and get all excited or upset about some detail they've just put out.

It looks like they're going to put out video of the bin Laden raid. I dread what's going to happen. It's going to be unacceptable to question that video. It's going to be unacceptable to remind people of the video of the Jessica Lynch "raid". We're supposed to just sit there and watch the video like we've had some kind of lobotomy and can't think about it, just watch it and take in the truth they're giving us. Why on earth would anyone do that?
