Terry Lane fails History. Stupidity not his fault.

Everyones getting stuck into Terry Lane. I'm beginning to feel sorry for him. It's not his fault that he was a very poor student of History and was then thrust into the world of journalism.
The poor guy a few weeks ago was trying to get his head around using the internet, searching for evidence that the US Marine Corp operated death camps in Europe during WW2. He couldn't find any proof, but he did find some information about obergroupfuhrer Jesse Macbeth. Apparently Marine and SS henchman Herr Macbeth was part of an elite death squad in Iraq. Macbeth is a hero according to Lane, by rejecting the death squads and playing whistle blower.
Ah, Terry Lane has found a hero for the modern Era.

But wait. Oh no! Poor Terry has been duped! How dare these people play a hoax! Jesse Macbeth never served in Iraq! He told lies to Terry! Poor Terry Lane is once again the victim of liars and he quite rightly plays the victim.

Of course it is not the first time Terry was a victim of a Hoax. Apparently when he was a little tacker, some nasty person told him that Gallipoli was an overwhelming victory and it wasn't until his mid-twenties that he found out the ANZACs' lived through a disaster. It took him hours of research at the Preston library to find the real truth of this sensational cover-up! The evil Winston Churchill had such a grip on war propaganda, he must have sent thought control police to Preston library to ensure the truth would not get out.

Of course Terry Lane found out the real truth by reading a play about ANZAC day.
Fair enough Terry!!
When I need to do research on the war in the Pacific, i would head off to Blockbuster and rent out "South Pacific". A great study into Pre-WW2 America is the incisive "Wizard of Oz". Of course if I need to get an insight into the mind of Adolf Hitler, how can one go past "Springtime for Hitler" by Mel Brooks.

I suggest Terry try and get his hand on a copy of "Sinbad the Sailor", A great perspective into the current Middle East crisis.

For your vigilant search for the truth, Terry Lane,
Australia salutes you!!
