perfidy

The Guardian has an interesting editorial today about the non-looting of the National Museum in Baghdad and the willingness of many people in the press and public to a) believe the worst and b)believe the worst of Americans. See it here. It's an odd piece for the Guardian to run. Why? See this:

So, there's the picture: 100,000-plus priceless items looted either under the very noses of the Yanks, or by the Yanks themselves. And the only problem with it is that it's nonsense. It isn't true. It's made up. It's bollocks.

Best line of all: "These days - you cannot say anything too bad about the Yanks and not be believed. "
