Admission of Guilt: Toppling of Saddam's Statue

Remember that? The Great Moment of the Iraq War when seemingly by magic, American troops helped the people of Irag topple Saddam's statue.

Only we found out soon thereafter - although the mainstream media tries hard not to acknowledge it - that this was an event staged by Ahmed Chalabi upon his arrival on a Pentagon flight.

Ah, but there's more. The Army now admits they were really the orchestrators of the event as a sort of ad hoc PsyOps bit of theater designed to change hearts and minds. When Keith Olbermann asked on "Countdown" tonight why the Army had to lie to reporters such as him who specifically asked if this were dreamed up, he was basically told that the press is the enemy of the Army (as is, would one imagine, George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld who cannot supply the Army with bullets and radios and such).

We should just make a list of what is NOT theater with these people. It would be a far shorter list.
