Amnesty Day for Bush and lawbreaking telecoms
The Senate's actions today in permanently protecting Bush officials from clear lawbreaking illustrate how far we've tumbled from the Church Committee of the post-Watergate era.
Glenn Greenwald [2008-02-12]

  • Why are we so afraid of terrorists?

    Why are we running like scared little sheep from the possibility of terrorism? Yes, the 9/11 attacks were bold and horrific, but the money being spent to defend ourselves and the even greater cost to our nation is far beyond the damage inflicted.

    The United States has suffered a number of terrorist incidents over the years without destroying the Republic.

    Terrorists succeed not because of their ability to hurt us but because of our over-reaction to it.

    The American people are stronger than that and our government should reflect that strength instead of pandering to our deepest fears.
