MSI, I very much enjoyed Greg Palast's "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy". It has a nice section on the theft of the Florida elections. The thing that I find so distressing about the media and the rank & file of the Repuglican Party is that the truth simply doesn't seem to matter to them. Winning and the exploitation of others and the planet's resources are the only things that seem to matter in their shallow, selfish world. I can't understand how we've become such a morally bankrupt country, with the hypocrites in the Christian Coalition seeming leading the march to depravity and moral turpitude on a rhetoric of righteousness. And, by the way, the passages in Palast's book on the donations of the Christian Coalition fools being siphoned off by Pat Robertson for a Central African diamond mine is worth the price of the entire book. It's a real eye opener. amazon.com

<<< Looking beyond Iraq, Rumsfeld called for information about what he referred to as "foreign fighters". He claimed they were "seeking to hijack your country for their own purpose". >>> Rummy is hunting for himself? -g- Tom commondreams.org

Interesting speculation from Justin Raimondo: <<< There is no question that the terrorists, in pulling off the 9/11 attacks, had access to some of this nation's most important secrets. New York Times columnist Bill Safire reported that, as the WTC went down in flames, the terrorists made it clear they had penetrated the inner defenses of White House security: "A threatening message received by the Secret Service was relayed to the agents with the president that 'Air Force One is next.' According to the high official, American code words were used showing a knowledge of procedures that made the threat credible." Safire swears this was told to him by Karl Rove, who said the President was going to go back to Washington until the Secret Service "informed him that the threat contained language that was evidence that the terrorists had knowledge of his procedures and whereabouts." As Safire put it: "That knowledge of code words and presidential whereabouts and possession of secret procedures indicates that the terrorists may have a mole in the White House – that, or informants in the Secret Service, F.B.I., F.A.A. or C.I.A." >>> antiwar.com Thinking about the validity of this story, I look at the source - Safire. What agenda would he have to fabricate this story? I can't think of one, except perhaps to stir up hysteria? Tom
