Jousting with the Lancet: Pajamas Media Interviews Professor Gilbert Burnham
How convenient. Throw up the figures just before an election then afterwards say, “Oops, I guess I made a mistake.” The number of civilian deaths wasn’t so great afterall. Then, justify the falsehood under the banner, “It doesn’t matter how many have been killed I (we) did a service just by pointing to the issue.” This sounds a lot like, “The ends justify the means, especailly when they’re my desired ends.” So much for intellectual honesty. Perhaps the creators of this kind of “truth” will be honest enough to begin campaigning to remove truth and honesty from the dictionary since neither of these words appear to have much meaning anymore.
