Rat: We need 'regime change' in Washington -- sooner rather than later...I agree with Daniel Ellsberg when he says that its very likely that this Administration has been lying us into a war we shouldn't be fighting...This is the Daniel Ellsberg that was the famous VietNam whistleblower -- he understands how the game is played and is quite confident we are not getting the truth. Why has Congress let us all down? Where has the debate been on the wisdom of a 'pre-emptive strike' on Iraq? Check out what the Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hirsh said last week... NEW YORKER COLUMNIST SY HERSH: 'NEVER SEEN MY PEERS AS FRIGHTENED' HARVARD CRIMSON - Journalist Seymour Hersh denounced the Bush administration's approach to Iraq last night after accepting the Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism at the Kennedy School of Government's ARCO Forum. . . Hersh began his acceptance speech by portraying the difficulties that today's reporters face, especially in Washington. "I have never seen my peers as frightened as they are now," Hersh said. . . Hersh then turned his attention to the impending war with Iraq. Hersh said skepticism about a potential war is shared by many Washington insiders. "I have never seen such dissent even with three and four star generals. The war is particularly not popular with the marines," Hersh said. . . . "Congress has gotten so much dumber it's embarrassing," he said. "There has been a collapse of Congress. It's an incredible failure. A staggering failure."
