Pentagon Admits Scrubbing Thomas White's Enron Past

More from the Honor 'n' Integrity Administration. The late-night "comics" are blowing it big-time - they have great material like this to work with and they're making jokes about the Olympics:

According to Defense Week, "The Army today gave its reasons for editing nearly out of existence references to Enron in the Army secretary's official homepage biography. The redaction was done to save space on the page and to ensure that Thomas White's history included more words about the future, a spokesman said. Before the edit, White's bio included about 120 words near the top on his 11 years at Enron Energy Services. As of last week, all that verbiage had been trimmed to one small sentence-which was moved to the end of the page." That's the most ludicrous explanation we've ever heard - last we checked, there was NO limit on the length of a Web page. Now that the Pentagon is officially in the business of LYING, there's no reason to believe a single word they say.
