Title
"Office of Official Lies" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on disinformation being spread by the administration of President George W. Bush. AuCoin states that although Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld claimed to have closed a federal "Office of Disinformation" before it began operating, AuCoin suspects that the goals of the office were still in force. AuCoin provides what he claims are two past examples of dishonesty coming from the Bush administration regarding the No Child Left Behind Act and Social Security trust fund surplus related money mismanagement. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in mid-February 2002.
