If you recall my recent discussion of the movie Star Wars III, Revenge of the Sith, then you may remember a discussion about believability. The video below, and others like it, show the main understanding about The Art of War is that the truth is the thing that is sought, but that should never be given to the enemy.
But that is what the character played by Jack Nicholson does. He gives his enemy the information he needs in order to destroy him. Frankly, I don't buy it. The Colonel would be smarter than that. He opponent may not be clever enough to get him to tell the truth.
