Not on my own TV

Maj.-Gen. Geoffrey Miller, former commander of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba who is now in charge of U.S.-run prisons in Iraq, denied yesterday the military condoned prisoner abuse.

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that there was no official policy nor any sanction of any of the abuses of this type," he said on television.

"Your army does not do things like this."

And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we’ve been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liars word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

---Willie Nelson lyrics
