Another note on Psyops
[Read the article: The enduring myth of Americans' dislike of investigations]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Poodleplay above noted that whenever they hear some of the argumentation pushing for various governmental answers to the terror threat, that they are reminded of sufferers of various personality disorders.
I would have to agree. I have been a foster parent for 13 children, who have all exhibited signs of various psychological afflictions, including bi-polar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and fetal alcohol syndrome, all caused by varying levels of mental, physical and sexual abuse, and add to that the developing mind of a child still trying to achieve a rational understanding of the world, and you have about 90% of the pro-war pro-terror rhetoric, especially in the "base".
The other 10% remind me of the ones who caused the symptoms.

Head in sand
[Read the article: The enduring myth of Americans' dislike of investigations]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Titus,
Who has their head in the sand? Who refuses to see? This president, who is supposed to lead us in an existential fight, winner-take-all, between our sole superpower of 300 million vs. the years-on-the-ropes, scrappy rag-tag band of maybe a few thousand terrorists (although growing thanks to a once-in-a-lifetime recruiting boost provided by our unnecessary crusade [sorry, war] in Iraq), can't even face criticism from his own people. His own administration put out instructions to make sure he couldn't even see protesters wherever he went. Again, whose head is in the sand? The protesters, or your fearless leader and his followers?

Hmmm.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Allawi plays the game better than the Republicans--no wonder they like him so much. And where did Allawi get the money to hire the heavy hitters to sell him back to the Iraqis?
Of course, a change in leadership may require more time to resolve Iraq, also. Two solutions to the neverending problem of prolonging the neverending US military presence in Iraq in one.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Fortunately the world that shouter lives in is shrinking fast, and the last few loyalists are praying some miracle will save them from the ignominy to which they are destined. Too bad for them the truth always comes out.
Their prayers like this?:

RE:Only costing Allawi $300K
[Read the article: How our seedy, corrupt Washington establishment operates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Now do you wonder why lobbying and political contributions are such a windfall for corporations? How much did the credit card industry have to spend to change the bankruptcy law? IIRC, only a few million over 3 or 4 years. How much did they reap? Jury is out, still, but I would expect billions. That's ROI that can get some big executive bonuses.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]No, we do not need the videos on YouTube. I have so far been able to block out mental imaging of Senatorial orgies, nascent since your statement, and don't want to consider actual imagery.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Wonderful quote from Mr. Ware:
And for the short to medium-term at least, these American generals don't believe that a democracy is necessary to replace it, and perhaps it's best that one doesn't for now.
And then, Mr. King considers that to be a "sober" (serious?) assessment.
And I thought we were there to spread democracy. We're spreading something, alright.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I can recall from history another time when the US dealt with tribes as sovereign entities. That worked out real well for the tribes, and their sovereignty, also.

Executive orders
[Read the article: How our seedy, corrupt Washington establishment operates]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But, susan sunflower, we have learned that this executive does not believe that executive orders applies to the executive, or ex-executive, or the 4th branch of the government, whether or not it is in the executive at the time.

Fantasies
[Read the article: Mike McConnell's clear explanation of FISA]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So try this scenario. The telecoms are hounded legally until settlement or Supreme Court -- regulated to distraction, and decide to abandon the telecom business to the Government.
Hmm, so some of the companies who ended up with the liability for asbestos have turned over their operations to the Government? Is that why Halliburton gets so many government no-bid contracts, because they are already an extension of the executive (or the 4th branch, I keep getting those confused)? No wonder why Ctheney just moved right in--it was a lateral move.

Somewhat kidding
[Read the article: The president's escalating war rhetoric on Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]My first trip to Florida, Nov. 4-11, 2000. Gore v. Bush.
My second trip to Florida, Mar. 16-23, 2003. Shock and awe.
My third trip to Florida, Sep. 1-8, 2007. Third time's the charm????
My trip insurance does not cover avoidance of geopolitical catastrophes, but if something happens next week, it's not my fault.

Taking trips
[Read the article: The president's escalating war rhetoric on Iran]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yellowdog and SusanMC,
Unfortunately, my wife and I need the vacation. My observation is only based on two points, and hopefully is not representative. If it is, then we will make sure to take our next trip to an opposite end of the country, probably Hawaii.
