This is one of the unfortunate prices we pay for the 1960s: the loss of faith in truth as a sufficient counter to lies. It’s not enough to say: she’s not telling the truth; you have to say: she’s lying because she is connected to an arms manufacturing firm. Or she’s lying because her politics are tied to the Zionist lobby, or she’s lying because she has a larger plan that she doesn’t wish to reveal. What’s wrong with her, in short, is not that she lies: everyone lies. Her problem is that she’s badly motivated.
