Muslims are permitted to lie to infidels in order to advance the cause of Islam. There are two forms: taqiyya - saying something that isnt true and kitman - lying by omission. It seems that politicians and federal officials are permitted to lie to the American people if it advances the cause of the government or their career aspirations. Did former acting CIA director Michael Morell mislead Congress and the American people during his testimony about the Benghazi attack before the House Intelligence Committee? I dont know, but it may demonstrate how Washington DC constructs the truth to preserve the corrupt status quo. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may have accurately defined the political strategy of truth construction when she said: the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that theyd they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? In other words, what good would it do to hold government officials accountable? It wont bring back the dead. Lets move on. Clinton continued: It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again. Unfortunately, the truth would not advance the cause of government or promising careers.
