From the annals of the National Liar
Volume 0, #0, April 1, 1993
Retraction
The National Liar hereby
retracts the article titled “Europe to Balkans – Drop Dead”, which appeared in
last month’s issue of the Liar. The story claimed that NATO’s political
leaders, in cooperation with the UN and other international agencies, have
chosen a policy of “malign neglect” towards the former Yugoslavian republics.
The Liar alleged that this decision was based on feelings of disgust, apathy
and contempt held by the average European towards the Balkans’ ancient feuds.
We reported Margaret Thatcher as saying, “If they want to kill each other off,
let them.”
Since then it has come to our
attention that the story was, in fact, accurate in every detail; and as such inappropriate for publication in
this newspaper.
The National Liar deeply
regrets the error.
