George, the above quotation is what Rigoberta Mench? told Ahora magazine in the January/February 1999 issue after David Stoll uncovered her hoax. Translated into English, that is “Certain lies are good.” That is the same animus behind “The Day After Tomorrow,” although at least the movie is billed as fiction (although the implication in the title is that it is could become true, and that soon). But both groups ? backers of Mench? and supporters of the film ? resort to the old Wull, at least it’s started a debate on the issue excuse that perpetrators of campus hate-crime hoaxes pull.
