The "powers that be" just happen to = America, America, America.

That was a colorful rant but it misses the point, IMO. You're conflating "the powers that be" with "America." I realize that it's hard for Bushies to understand but Bush is not the same as America. One can hate acts of the administration, any administration, without hating America. There have been many acts performed in the name of the US that I disapprove, even despise. Surely there have been acts that you despise. Almost everyone now despises slavery. Does that make abolitionists anti-American? We can despise certain acts taken in the name of our country without being anti-American. Surely there is something on that list of grievances of which you disapprove, that you wish had not been done in your name. Surely.

The step from "knew in advance and did nothing to stop it" to "an inside job" is small and easy to take.

Good grief!! You must have incredibly long legs.
