did you ever have a friend...

...to whom you gave everything--all committment, everything? You thought you were so close. Really tight, right? The tightest?

And then you found they lied to you? Big time?

That's how the United Kingdom must feel right now.

An AP story today: "The United States said on Thursday it had expressed regret to close ally Britain over inaccurate information Washington gave about U.S. planes carrying terrorism suspects that refueled on a British island."

ew.

ow.

That smarts.

You know what? "Inaccurate information" from a close friend sure sounds like "lie", doesn't it? It does to me. It would if I were Britain. Especially given this administration's penchant for doing whatever it wants, with whomever it wants, however it wants, whenever it wants. If ever there were an organization whose "ends justified their means", it's this bunch--especially Mssrs. Cheney, Rove and the guy who's supposed to be in charge.

Oh, well. Another day in the neighborhood, eh? "We're sorry, we swear." "We didn't lie to you, honest." "We won't do it again, we swear."

Yeah. Right.




Let's have a great weekend, y'all.
