    Thank you, Salon.

    This administration has done an artful job of hiding the truth. It's really too bad that these pics are not front-page news in every paper in America and abroad, and the headline story on every televised news report.

    We have no political capital left. What took over 200 years to build up, what took years of diplomacy, has been lost in 6 short years. How much lower will we go in the next 2 years?
