I would really love it if you would post the previous week's segment with David Cay Johnston.

Any chance?

What if I say please.

Please!

What is disturbing is that Mushevik apologists still invoke the canard about "very intelligence agency around the world thought Saddam had those WMDs."

Goddamn. America will continue to be used as an agent of war, death, destruction & hate until its war criminals are prosecuted and people elect progressive, forward-thinking politicans. I can't help but think how much better-off Afghanistan would have been if the US hadn't incited cross-border Mujahadin guerilla raids to provoke a Soviet retaliatory response. Psyops & propaganda are NOT the methods of law & democracy.

Innovation is key to taking back power from foriegn countries.When we reduce or eliminate our need for petroleum we redefine our future. With many countries vying for vanishing petroleum. There are now two choices.

1.) Maintain a large military/CIA and hope for the best in the inevitable conflicts with foriegn governments.

2.) Reduce and eventually eliminate our use of petroleum as a source of energy.

How long will two choices remain?

What camoflauge will those choices wear in the future?

The shame with Bush or McCain supporters is, they wouldn't watch PBS, read a political periodical, or step foot in a library if they had their own gun at their head.
