I will do that. Certainly is one of the very few who links past and present, is both qualified and unafraid to talk about domestic military implications and potential actions. How many have you heard as of this date who have analyzed in detail the new Homeland act? Answer: zip. The commentary is in other areas, and in generalities.

I do try to order several books a month across the political spectrum. What I've noticed is the dissident end of the spectrum is the least acknowledged in the media. This guy has far greater knowledge, detail and implication than anything the administration can put up against the nodding heads.

It would be a most entertaining event to pair Ruppert or this guy with anyone in the administration, Ari, Rummie, Junior, or any of their apologists in the media.

Right or wrong, it has extreme detail, and it all hangs together, worth reading.

fear mongering:

CIA Chief Says Al Qaeda Still Greatest Threat to U.S.

somehow that doesn't quite wash with the acknowledgment in the article that,
"Tenet said the war on terrorism has dealt severe blows to Al Qaeda and its leadership. A number of senior Al Qaeda have been killed. Others are on the run. Efforts of the U.S. government or friendly governments have choked off funds the terror cells need to operate. Countries have also arrested nearly 1,000 Al Qaeda terrorists."

A greater threat emerging is the administration's frenzy to curtail civil rights of the citizenry and institute indefinite wartime-sized spending sprees using the threat of total US ruination at the hands of a bunch of terrorists.
International terrorism is a serious problem but that problem is being used by Bush's cabal to justify an inappropriate wave of its own brand of terror. Oops...I better watch what I say.
The momentum of the government's actions could soon reach a point where those actions create so much mayhem that it will actually be EASIER for the international terrorists to strike and do more damage.
