Portage, I recall we met on the California Energy Crisis thread a couple of years ago. When we were absolutely right about the shenanigans and market manipulation by the likes of Enron and its dirty ilk. Look where it got us to see the problem clearly. Now the Governor is struggling against an unsavory mob of millionaires, with the Uber-Fascist Schwartzenegger greedily leading the charge in the hope of continuing the rape of California. Now we're here discussing the immoral and depraved Bush Administration. I guess it would be foolish to hope that we can clean up this turgid mess any time soon........ but anyway, here goes. Another lance tossed at the lunatic in the White House: prospect.org THE SELLING OF THE WAR. Prospect senior correspondent John Judis, writing with Spencer Ackerman, has put together a magisterial history of the public debate leading up to the Iraq war. tnr.com This article is one-stop shopping for those who feel that the Bush administration systematically misled and lied to the American people on a matter of utmost importance. Judis is one of the most intellectually honest and rigorous journalists in America, and his and Ackerman's reporting is damning enough on its own terms. But The New Republic's willingness to publish an article that, as this accompanying editorial concedes, "undermines one of the magazine's central rationales for war," is in some ways even more damning. Good for TNR. Bad for Dubya.
