    One Man?

    I think we may be giving Mr. Cheney too much credit. What the American people and the press really need to do is carefully examine the real architects of the neocon dogma. The movers and shakers of this mentality must pay allegiance to interests other than the people of America. To whom is this allegiance directed? Where do Perle, Feith, Wolfowitz, and the Rumsfelds

    get there income from? Are they still employed by the U.S.?

    I hope not.
