The Biggest Lie
Martin Peretz writes in The Plank at The New Republic.
The biggest lie is the one being spread by Human Rights Watch on American television. And it is that Hezbollah has not entwined its network of weapons, launching sites, and command centers into the fabric of ordinary civilian life in southern Lebanon and south Beirut. Gray smoke or black smoke. Twenty-eight dead or 60 dead. A matter of degree, you might say. But this Human Rights Watch libel has utterly destroyed its credibility, at least for me. Its testimony stands out against the witness of so many truly independent observers that I am astonished by the hubris of its director.Hat Tip Pajamas Media -- link also contains an excellent summary of the Antique Media meltdown.
