Hooey! Your "guilty until proven innocent" comment is all we need to know about you. Downright totalitarian and much worse than anything Bush has proposed to reasonably safeguard national security......

To the extent that what you say is true, I agree with your assessment. However, I prefer to believe that many people find public service is a noble calling and no cause for sucking up swill. You're sniffing around for it so no doubt you have some kind of nose memory. You thought I was in charge? Well, then, let me rephrase this, as if I were in public office: "There is seious doubt that those who make millions at the public trough are representing the people, but are representing themselves, their cronies and self-perpetuating criminality in government. Therefore I call for laws requiring full and immediate disclosure and a full accounting of every public dollar, program and person, with the only exception of bona-fide military secrets, of which there are few." Public service is a privilage, not a road to riches. Unfortunately, without accountability, the government-industrial cozy complex absorbs people like the Bushes and Cheneys, who use government to wheedle massive contracts, to hide, lie and deny, and thousands more like them in the covert branches secretly swindling and publicly extorting taxpayers and causing mayhem worldwide. Just who do you think is going to make all those aircraft, ships, missiles, and so forth?? Secretly meeting with industrialists while calling it "national security" is a perversion of the Constitution. Calling for disclosure and accountability is not.
