I agree with this. However, I would like to point out that the "left" is also labeled and sandbagged in the same way, especially here on these boards. Just subsitute "left" for "right" in the above and see what I mean. Like
Pan, I also think that we get way too bogged down here in left-right squabbles that are useless, often obscuring the real issues.
As far as the post, well, I don't think it's a good idea for the gov't. to lie to its people. I'm probably closer to
Will on this aspect. I think secrecy and lying are 2 different things. Secrecy would be ok in my book but lying, probably not. Of course this is really vague and general, but hey, it's a poll right?
Hmmmm.....*wanders off to think about it some more*
