What's The Truth?

Tobacco companies and the Justice Department are sparring over corrective statements the companies say are "forced public confessions." In a 2006 racketeering case, a federal judge ordered tobacco companies to release statements such as "For decades, we denied that we controlled the level of nicotine delivered in cigarettes. Here's the truth. Cigarettes are a finely tuned nicotine delivery device designed to addict people." Tobacco companies object to the words "finely tuned." The Justice Department is asking a federal judge to enforce the sentence.
