Your anecdote is accurately descriptive:
When Thomas J. Devine, Poppy Bush's business partner and a former CIA agent, coyly suggested to me that the problem with journalists like myself is that 'you believe what you read in government documents,' he was referring to such deeply coded disinformation.
Senator Patrick Leahy was tutored by Director of Central Intelligence Robert Gates:
Senator, all governments lie to each other; it's how business gets done.
When the meaning is too clear, someone is shot in the head.
