They've been lying since the Lusitania and the Maine :/

The US gov't finally came clean about the Lusitania in (iirc?) 1995? 80 years of pushing an easily disproven lie. They just punished anyone who told the truth & mocked them as "conspiracy nuts". I don't think the Brits have admitted to it yet? Maybe I'm mistaken.
