It certainly is an obscenity. I wonder that more people don't recognize it as such.

What they are really afraid of is what these trials will expose about the former regime. Once that can of worms is opened there will be no going back.

You have it backwards. They HATE us for our freedoms.

How come the Catholic Church hasn't been prosecuted under this for wholesale child rape and subsequent cover-ups? Enlightened indeed.

At some point, these examples -- and those who point them out -- will pile up so high that it will be impossible for all but the blindest Obama loyalists to pretend they don't exist.

I wonder how high. There are no limits to infinite stupidity and gullibleness. The sheeple on the left are not very different than the sheeple on the right.

Sorry.

No I am not. Are you saying that J Strret is a Zionist organisation? If so, I think you are mistaken.

NEOCON=ZIONIST. Or at least something very near to.

The GOP has always been about vote suppression, see Fla. 2000 and Ohio 2004. They cannot win in a fair vote and they know it. There are only so many bigots and authoritarians available to carry water for them.

You are correct. I see prosyltizing(sp)on a regular basis. That ban on government enforcing a state religion went away during the early years of Bush 2. They call it "Spiritual Fitness" at the Army Post I work at (I hate to admit), but it is really evangelical Christianity.

Amazing stuff. Thank you. I was aware of the Northwoods stuff, mostly, but not the other. Thanks again.

I am a fairly well-read and informed person and I have never seen the article you linked to. This is the PNAC manifesto writ large. How could I have missed this? Rhetorical question only.

Common sense out of the Pentagon? Who would have thought that? Why did no one listen?

Putting people in jail for smoking marijuana is about the stupidest idea in the history of man. People who smoke pot are inherently not dangerous.

It makes perfect sense to me. The banksters have to get "theirs" quick or the MIC will get it all. Too bad they are killing the gold manufacturing geese in the process.

You caught me. My real name is Hussein and I am attempting to become a congressional page.

Sorry.

You got it half right. ALl of the superstious, fairytale nonsense is BAD!

"Give me liberty or give me death. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased with chains and slavery?"

THE DRAFT.

As a lifelong sot, I take exception to the insinuation that alcohol is the cause of Bernbart's affliction.

And a fat lot of good it did. Obama sure stopped those settlements, didn't he. He stood up to AIPAC and Bibi and won! YEA!!!!

How about "MIC Mouthpiece"? "Porpaganda Propagator for Empire"? "Lying Sonuvabitch"?

Thanks to all for clearing that up. I was truly befuddled.

No, I merely advised Zorkna that the war with Iran was planned by the neocons after the one in Iraq. You know "... real men go to Tehran".

Did I run afoul of the censor? I can't imagine how.

If the breking of "international law" is a pretext for invasion (or at least critisism)we ought to be giving the Israelis hell. Did I miss that?

I think the warmongering folks out there are going to be appalled with the results of what they are about to unleash. The end of the empire is near.

I've always admired your ability to cut straight to the chase, as it were. How soon they forget about the CIA's failed coup attempt when Chavez decided he wanted the natural resources of Venezuela to be used to the benefit of Venezuelans rather than Exon-Mobil. Thug indeed.

"...actively hostile to reason." Indeed, it's as if stupidity spread like a disease in the 21st century.

We demand that they remain defenseless so that we (or our friends) can attack them with impunity. It's a real riot.

We have a long history of meddling in the affairs of others only to reap the unintended consequences. Is it even possible for the people of the USA to understand that bombs and wholsale destruction CREATE enemies?

We will have our version of the Reichstag fire. Then the real trouble begins.

I am a single dad of 2 sons. There are so many erroneous assertions in this post that it gives me a headache. No prejudice here, eh?

Liberal blogger or authoritarian, end-timer, religion fanatic, snake oil salesman...who should I believe?

Thank you for crying "bullshit" on Glock45. Very nice.

I've been waiting for you all week and you certainly didn't disappoint.

Thanks, I must have lost my head.

Can you tell us who is defending Obama's deficits?

Hillary is the laughing-stock of the world as she travels around lecturing folks about the rule of law and such. For an allegedly smart person...how the disconnect?

"Corporate whoredom".

I think that the Cheneyites know these people are innocent. They just don't want them turned loose to tell their sordid, shameful stories.

Wouldn't you think that the Brits would call our bluff? Really? Suppose they were attacked and we knew? What of the fallout from that? Wouldn't that make us accomplices?

Shocking, absolutely shocking that the Washington Post would embrace the narrative of their neo-con masters. What's next...are they going to tell us why it is necessary to continue to fund the War Department?

You are very sharp. Give 'em hell.

Check out what Larissa Alexandrovna has to say at At-Largely. Why would you need to cancel a program that was not operational? If you believe this, you will believe anything.

Thank you, Arianna! I had stopped visiting Huffpo as often as I once did because of what I perceived as blind approval for all things Obama. Now that they have Froomkin, I will go back.

George W. Bush = Islamic Scholar.
