Only the important stuff. The public unquestionably gets all the fluff money can buy.

I've been amazed over the past 4 years as I've attempted to discover the extent of the secret government in the U.S. Every week it seems I'm confronted with new evidence that the American people are probably the most naive population on the planet when it comes to understanding what the U.S. government is really doing behind the veil of secrecy.

Here's a sordid tale of "extraordinary renditions", written before the Italian magistrate had the decency to issue arrest warrants for criminal CIA agents:

By the way, I first learned about the Three-Fifths Compromise while reading Kevin Phillips' "Wealth and Democracy". I rate Phillips as probably just as important a scholar as Howard Zinn for serious students of the hidden American history.

I have yet to read Phillips' book on the Bush Family titled "American Dynasty". I'm certain that it is extremely well done and highly informative. And something that George Bush hopes none of his supporters ever read.
