Excerpt from this article:
"You know Winston Churchill said during World War Two that in wartime truth is so important it should be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies..."

Quote 1:
"Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff (as quoted in Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein)
Quote 2:
"Churchill was exhilarated. Six months later, after the first battle of Ypres, with tens of thousands of British soldiers in their graves, he would say to Violet Asquith: 'I think a curse should rest on me - because I am so happy. I know this war is smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment and yet - I cannot help it - I enjoy every second.'" - Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War, by Patrick Buchanan
Quote 3:
"Beware the victor's version. Wartime propaganda morphs into peacetime textbooks...think outside the box. Don't accept the official version. Ask Why..." - Peter Hammond
