and the B.S. keeps on coming
In light of today's activity in London and the stopping of an alleged conspiracy to blow up airplanes one can only hope that NSA wiretaps of telephone calls and searching of bank records would be used to actually thwart terrorism.
Bush and Co. strain credibility that NSA wiretaps have been used purely for the reason of National Security, their naked political ambitions and greed not to mention grotesque fabrications have been so obviously demonstrated innumerable times i.e. WMD, ties of Al Queda to Saddam Hussein, Orange Alerts, there is no global warming and my personal favorite- ‘If you’re not with us, you’re against us’
The media (CNN, MSNBC, FOX, even the NYTimes, et al.) plays into this being more than just obliging but even to be nothing more than official branches of the propaganda machine, code for “winning the hearts and minds’ through disinformation.
This ‘win’ for Bush and Co. is just another example of the usurpation of our democracy for the few, rich and powerful. It is a blatant attempt to suppress dissent, freedom of the press, accountability, upholding of the Constitution, and the general rule of law.
If Bush and Co., including the bench were really that serious and honest then Bob Novak would be awaiting trial along with a slew of other criminals walking the corridors of power in the Beltway.
