"Look, there is no war without spin. There is no war without outright lying to the populace, without trying to coerce a wary nation into supporting our unprovoked savagery by way of Hollywood-style set pieces performed specifically to deflect attention from the brutality and the decapitated children and the still-dying U.S. soldiers and the burning bodies by the side of the road." -- Mark Morford, in a column about Jessica Lynch's rescue

(It's unclear whether the above was meant to refer to war in general, or only to the US war in Iraq. My own interpretation is that it'a about all wars despite the reference to "U.S. soldiers". -- Glenn)
