Deltalum,
If I implied that I trust the gov't, that was not my intention. I think the gov't is entirely too large and does lie-it's gov't nature to try and spin the truth.
What I am saying is that I do not trust the media in dealings with the military. I think there is a strong biases against the military in most instances and I know from second hand experiences that the vast majority of what is reported in Iraq right now is not even close to the truth.

If you are going to call me out,
honey, you had better know the time frame of when those quotes were used.
The second quote was taken before Jefferson was President. The first quote was taken after he held that position. If you know enough to quote him, then you should probably know that those quotes are used to show the change of philosophy in dealings with the media before and after holding the highest office in the land.
