Aquino's denials remind us of how Ferdinand Marcos lied through his teeth when he claimed that there were no political prisoners, when at least 70,000 people were imprisoned under his martial law rule.
Sinasariwa ng pagmamaang-maangan ni Aquino ang pagsisinungaling ni Marcos nang sabihin niyang wala namang mga bilanggong pulitikal, samantalang di kukulangin sa 70,000 katao ang napiit sa ilalim ng batas militar.
