Lies

"In January, when the Pentagon issued a press release announcing that 61 former prisoners had returned to the battlefield, researchers at the Seton Hall Law School in New Jersey, who have been monitoring the Pentagon's regular pronouncements about former prisoners, responded by pointing out that the "DoD has issued 'recidivism' numbers 43 times, and each time they have been wrong". Professor Mark Denbeaux of the Law School's Center for Policy & Research explained, "Every time they have been required to identify the parties, the DoD has been forced to retract their false IDs and their numbers." He added, "They have counted people as 'returning to the fight' for their having written an Op-ed piece in the New York Times and for their having appeared in a documentary exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival.""
