    many have asked why

    intel, directives, aiding, etc the never ending war on a transitive adverb (GWOT) is given by the administration and it's supporters

    intel, directives, aiding, etc the democrats in order to dig up dirt for political reasons is given by the democrats and it's supporters (plus the first also)

    i've also thought, this bunch of crooks are just that, crooks first and foremost, the power comes second when you have the money first, but domestic eavesdropping would make stock market picks all the easier – ‘inside info’ when to buy, when to sell, no ?? leverage in mergers and acquisitions to your advantage, no ?? and when you 'own' the justice dept, foreknowledge or deflection of investigations only add to the fun

  • As you know...

    with this, and too many other things over the past (at least) eight years, i'm afraid (most of) the fourth estate has become a fifth column

    it will be different now that a 'democrat' is in office, but for the wrong reasons

    if we didn't have a corporate meadea, the page here: http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/category/y-2009/, would be devoid of content

    ...the Constitution prohibits writs of attainders and the Geneva Conventions prohibits absolving people who commit war crimes. (Convention IV, Part IV, Section 1, Subsection III, Art. 148.) “No High Contracting Party shall be allowed to absolve itself or any other High Contracting Party of any liability incurred by itself or by another High Contracting Party in respect of breaches referred to in the preceding Article”...

  • re the single most transparent and damaging myth in American political discourse

    [Read the article: The Washington Post fires its best columnist. Why?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    back in sept of 2007, when the fcc had their half dozen town halls, i finally got to speak past 11pm, i closed with:

    there are people on the right, who think that the media is liberal

    there are people on the left, who know that it is not

    and there are people all over the country, who unfortunately think that what they hear, see, and read is actually accurate and complete

    the post just must not want readers to the paper or viewers to thier site, weird business model

    (full speech @ sig)
