The latest revelations of illegal domestic spying highlight what has become increasingly clear about the nature of our government.

    "Weren't the events of 9-11-2001 a political act?"

    We know they were, on the part of the perpetrators.

    As for the response of the government, we apparently never will. This is what makes the relentlessly repeated argument of the 28 percenters, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear," so infuriatingly self-discrediting. Not to them, of course, but to anyone else who can fog a mirror.

    The baffling willingness of the Bushies to make themselves look guilty by stonewalling the 911 commission, including the pathetic and reluctantly accepted "compromise" of finally allowing Bush to appear, but not under oath and with Cheney along, only fuels the worst suspicions of the most radical conspiracy theorists.

    They are so obviously hiding something and took a lot of criticism in so doing, that one can only assume the worst.

    Why do that?

    We can only wonder.
