Does the Lying Ever Stop?

SEE HERE The CIA operation that recovered the underwear bomb? ... Reset ... it was a Saudi operation from start to finish and the administration was using it to pump up their image.  So who is telling the truth?  I think in the conflicted world we live in the only safe position is to distrust everything on the assumption that you are being gamed: gamed by the media, gamed by the administration, gamed by whoever might benefit from the impact of the information.  Ronald Reagan said "Trust, but verify."  We've moved beyond that to "Distrust, suspect and confirm."  We need serious reform of government and the dissemination of information.  I remember when everyone was horrified to discover that Eisenhower had not told the truth about the U2 shoot down and now the surprised when someone tells the truth.  How far we have come!
