gotta sell those weapons!
[Read the article: Iraq: Why the media failed]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Part of the problem is that the major news organizations are just trying to make their stockholders happy...bring in the bucks. An other problem is that the news conglomerates have the same people running them as are running the military industrial complex. When NBC Universal is owned by GE which makes many engines for warplanes it must have some impact on their point of view. War makes money for a lot of people. Our economy depends on war. And if sponsors want viewers to buy their products the people must keep making those weapons. Those interested in the truth will become used to checking non MSM sources and the web makes it easy to do that now.

Forget Imus and Dannylynne this should be the lead story everywhere, including salon
[Read the article: How the intelligence was cooked]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We all knew this..but now we really know this. This is totally unacceptable, and as someone else has mentioned, if this is not sufficient evidence to impeach this administration, then what would be? These DELIBERATE lies have resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives, thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Americans maimed and the loss of American credibility around the world. All these liars should go to jail for the rest of their lives and we should leave Iraq now. Forget Imus (it was terrible, he was trying to do a School Daze joke, he should be fired) but it is not anywhere near as important as THIS story.

salon.com or People?
[Read the article: "Idol" slayer?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why are you bothering with this foolishness? Why don't you lead instead with the article about the new documentation showing how we were all deceived into this hideous war? What garbage.

of course these e-mails can be found
[Read the article: Yeah, that's the ticket]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]e-mails aren't like tape recordings...there are surely ways to get them out of the servers..from those who sent them and those who received them. And of course they would say they were inadvertantly expunged. Haven't we learned by now that whatever this administration says, the opposite is more likely the truth? The hardware and software and all the ware should be impounded right now.

all the servers must be impounded now, perhaps even tonight
[Read the article: Upending the Mayberry Machiavellis]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Exactly correct. And Congress must persist in really going after all the evidence and as Pelosi put it, clean house. Unfortunately most Americans are too busy working two jobs or too uneducated to read serious articles such as this one. So all the evidence will have to be thrown at them. This administration ALWAYS lies. In fact the way to glean the truth is to assume that the opposite of what they say IS the truth. And somehow we have to figure out a way to make this sort of news sell cars or whatever the sponsors want to sell. Maybe a little War Music..jazz it up! Call it "the war on the American people" or some such but get these sleazy CRAZY guys nailed and on the MSM TV! (of course the MSM is owned and operated by the same guys who brought you this war..but there must be some way to reach them) People in this administration should go to jail for lying to the American people. It's not like they didn't know they were lying. They are a bunch of greedy criminals and their lies are responsible for untold numbers of lives ruined in order that this president and his supporters could get richer.

now for a ride in my Volvo and a latte, to pick up some new Birkenstocks.
[Read the article: Say it loud: I'm elite and proud!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yes funny and spot on! And since this administration full of incompetents we need to get our elite northeastern computer experts in there to grab all the servers and get the Rovie's e-mails! However, thought needs to be given about ways to stop alienating the stupid poor fundies from the rural areas... because there are still a lot of them who continue to vote against their own interests. John Edwards might be the only guy who can do this now. Off topic (sort of) has anyone seen a new (very expensive looking) ad making Pelosi look like a witch and talking about how she's messing up the world by talking to Syrian leaders? It is paid for by the Republican Israeli Committe (I think) it is one scary ad. I saw it last night on CNN. Does anyone know of this group? (yes, yes I know it is called the Bush Administration).

What could "winning" possibly mean now?
[Read the article: Iraq: American public opinion vs. a "small but powerful group"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"assured access to energy resources" ? These are not our resources. They are the resources of the countries of the middle east and they ought to have the final say in who sells and buys their oil and which currency (probably not dollars) is used. The American people (or at least more than 60% of them) want us to leave and take all our troops out of there now. The Iraqis want us to to leave. The Saudis want us to leave. The Pope wants us to leave! Only the Israelis and the Americal military industrial oil banking cartel want us to stay. All Americans should get out and all American bases should be closed, abandoned, turned over to the Iraqis NOW. We will just have to think of other ways to fuel our planes and cars and houses and plastics makers. Enough Iraqis have been killed. Enough Americans have been killed or incapacitated forever. Enough of this stupid, ill-advised war. Out now.
