In my own seven minutes, in the course of trying to explain how lies and propaganda fueled the U.S. government's "going to the dark side" after 9/11, I ended up butchering Mark Twain's quote: "A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." I hope I didn't confuse the German audience too much. I also hope they stopped on their way out to read the building's dedication and take some needed courage from the example of one of American democracy's Founding Fathers and its first whistleblower. This type of courage is again required to stand up for truth.
