"Shh! They don't have to know."

We leave a bit of truth out here and there just to make ourselves look high and mighty. Most leaders leave out information about wars or events that happend where they compete with another country or leader. They "misplace" the truth about what happend to no embarrass themselves. I think, although im sure it might not ever happen, that countries should not leave out information of true events. This may hurt there reputation, but it also portrays the complete truth to the people hearing and reading about events. You may think that for the time being that everyone will believe your false shortened version of the story, but in the long run, everyone finds out the truth at one point.
