Simply astounding...how Dumya can lie with a straight face. The man cannot be trusted to tell the truth about anything.

'Wash Post' Obtains Shocking Memo from U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Details Increasing Danger and Hardship:

This cable outlines, the Post reported Sunday, 'the daily-worsening conditions for those who live outside the heavily guarded international zone: harassment, threats and the employees' constant fears that their neighbors will discover they work for the U.S. government.'

It's actually far worse than that, as the details published below indicate, which include references to abductions, threats to women's rights, and 'ethnic cleansing.'

A PDF copy of the cable shows that it was sent to the SecState in Washington, D.C. from 'AMEmbassy Baghdad' on June 6. The typed name at the very bottom is Khalilzad -- the name of the U.S. Ambassador, though it is not known if this means he wrote the memo or merely approved it. " (Read On ^)
