Why should we accept Condoleezza’s word?

A SAYING attributed to the Manx holds that “a liar is not to be believed even when he tells the truth”.

This is sound wisdom when applied to the Bush administration — especially

to a well-documented prevaricator and dissembler like Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice when she offers assurances to the Government concerning the non-use of Shannon airport for US ‘torture flights’.
