No. I apologize. I'm sorry I posted something here that was designed to get people thinking, as opposed to spewing. It won't happen again. db

I could have omitted the first three paragraphs, so we would have been spared the name-calling. She's not saying "This is what happened. I have Proof!!!". She's writing her own view. So refute it. No Need? Please. Explain why it makes less sense then "They hate our freedoms" or...

So refute it. Name calling is for amateurs. db

I can't dismiss this out of hand. I apologize for posting the whole thing, but it's a fascinating take. Al-Qaida will do Whatever it Takes to Assure Bush is Re-elected - Gwynne Dyer I have always admired Edward Luttwak, one of the clearest American thinkers in the strategy/security...

Arar is suing... From http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0123-03.htm ...Arar said he was brutally tortured by the Syrians and forced to sign a false confession of terrorist complicity before being allowed in October to return to Canada. In the suit, which names Ashcroft, Homeland...

Bravo! The board writes a textbook rightwing response to criticism. Choose one or more of the following: "He's a socialist." "He's a faggot." "He's a Democrat." "He's a disgruntled former employee." "He's a loser." "He's a whiner." "He's a terroristSymp." "He's a dupe." "He's an...

In other words, Democrats couldn't figure out how to restrict access to their secret memos. Cry me a river. Or, The Democrats didn't expect that the Republikans were quite as unethical (morally challenged) as they clearly are, so they saw no need for a high level of security. db

Look at this way: if breaking into Democratic files/offices/computers was treason, we could have executed the entire Republikan party along with NIxxon back when. db

I dunno. He didn't sound hysterical to me. Enraged, maybe. Added: It looks like he went public in his home town newspaper. http://www.columbiabasinherald.com/index.asp?Sec=letters&str=5307 db

We've been eating beef only from Coleman for years now, but this is still real scary... This is political because it bears on our willingness to trust our own Government. From http://www.counterpunch.org/louthan01202004.html January 20, 2003 - A Worker from the Mad Cow Meat Plant Speaks...

Because GWB did a poor job of explaining himself does not mean the war was not justified. Ordinarily I'd close with "time will tell", but with the right controlling all three branches of government, I won't bet. In any case, it seems to me to be unconstituitional to justify a war after the...

Sorry, no insult was intended. The point: many believe Bush, many don't. Those who don't are Americans, just like those who do. It's our patriotic duty to call bulls*it on our own government when it screws up. What about the other points? db

It's interesting that there's a 'Fred on Democracy' thread going on at the same time as this one. If we had a democracy here, the fact that Bush & Co. mislead the people and the congress about why it was we had to invade Iraq "RIGHT NOW", he would be impeached. I doesn't seem to matter at...

O'Neill's book has proven, at least to those Americans who don't have their noses pushed deep up Bush's goesouta, that the justifications for the Iraq war were based on fraud. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't one or two of us here at THR say just that? And weren't we savaged for it...

We're back to the "liberal media" thing. Seriously, it doesn't matter what party affiliation the talking heads and writers claim. What matters is the decisions that are made by the companies who own the media - and that write the paychecks for the reporters - about what is covered, and how...

but most of the scandal seems to come from the fact that the news media hates his guts That's absurd. The media is owned by the people who paid for his office: do you think that they'd allow anything to screw it up? db

It's for our own good, I'm sure. Look how well it worked when the Bushmen coerced the EPA to lie about NYCs air quality post-9/11. Anybody want to explain how this is a good idea? Published on Monday, January 12, 2003 by the St Louis Post-Dispatch White House Seeks Control on Health...

How to defeat the Islamic Terrorists: db

I can't imagine his supporters presenting a potential threat to the Prez's life... I doubt they let the guys with the "I love Bush sign" in and leave it at that. The "dissenters" are kept at a distance so the the threat near the Prez is more manageable... Oh, for pity's sake. Does...

Good grief. I worked with the LCSO in the early 70s on Search and Rescue and Fire Supression teams, and it was a pretty laid-back bunch of rural cops. Hippies, climbers, smelly back country skiers; we had the run of the place, and were viewed as an integral part of Emergency Services...
