To the Government, Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction
The London police's story of how they "mistakenly" shot Jean Charles de Menezes last week continues to unravel.
The latest news is that he neither wore a bulky jacket nor jumped the subway turnstile.
We now know that the entire original account was fictitious. This should come as no surprise, after all. Lying is what governments do.
By the way (shameless plug), if you haven't read my column on the subject (written before this latest information came out) at LewRockwell.com, check it out.

I came across this story yesterday and was honestly floored.
I can't believe how much the 'probable cause' of the police officer has been reduced.
