Perhaps I got it wrong but I always thought that truth was the first casualty of politics....

I see no reason why truth cannot be the first casualty in both theaters.

I think perhaps the two are not mutually exclusive. Nor are. Truth is the first casualty of religion, entertainment, courtship, and the advertizing industry, etc. etc.

The truth is, truth is having a hard time.

@Fernapple In most human relationships sooner or later truth usually becomes a casualty.

Should be able to be proved either way quite easily. Does the island look like it was bombed? Or easier still, parade the prisoners to show proof of life.
