"Mr Sahaf's (the Iraqi information minister) apotheosis came on Monday April 7th. With American tanks occupying the Baghdad parade ground, he stood calmly a couple of hundred yards away, on the roof of the Palestine Hotel, to tell reporters that none of this was really happening. Smiling extra-wide, he said: 'Don't repeat the lies of the liars.'"

Here's a good article on my favorite thing about this war, the "minister of misinformation" himself, and another one on his hilarious overly-optimistic reports.
