Went Jogging up the valley at sunset - wonderful.
Ate dinner at the dining hall - feel awful.
Back at Burns Hall studying - fart.

This is just ridiculous: what has our country turned into. Some other famous people/leaders/institutions in history have turned lies, information manipulation, and irrational patriotism to achieve foreign policy goals - 1930´s Germany and Japan, for instance. Not good company.

US Army´s ´fake´ letters cause stir


A series of letters supposedly written by US troops in Iraq detailing their successes in the country were all written by their commander, it has emerged.

The letters came to light when some of the soldiers´ families sent them to local newspapers.

Editors became suspicious when they noticed the letters had identical phrases even though they were signed by different soldiers.

"After nearly five months here, the people still come running from their homes, into the 110-degree heat, waving to us as our troops drive by on daily patrols of the city," read one line.

One soldier´s mother said she knew it was not her son´s words as he did not have the linguistic ability.
