    Get at the truth!

    Don't you think that hurts the rest of us in our effort to get to the truth from the principals in these campaigns?

    Truth is a rather maleable thing. Here in the USA, apparently truth is what is arrived at after everyone has had a chance to collaberate and get their story straight. Of course in the rest of the world such things would usually be calledself-serving lies but then that would be uncivil.
