Clever, and appropriate. Many on this thread recall a very bad day for democracy. June 10, 2002. It was this day that the citizen organization, "Unanswered Questions" called a news conference at the National Press Club. And the day that Congressional hearings featuring the complaints of FBI field agent Colleen Rowley were to begin. On that day, realizing that the media could become a mouthpiece for the truth, the Bushista Junta pulled a media coup. They featured their star prosecutor, John Ashcroft, presenting a totally scary scenario from Moscow, Russia. Indeed the stage set looked like it was straight out of a KGB nightmare. What was it that Ashcroft so breathlessly announced? That they'd incarcerated a Latin American named Padilla on charges of being in cahoots with Al Qaeda on a nucular scheme. Ashcroft failed to mention they'd nabbed the perp a month earlier, and held him on ice until they needed him as a distraction from the day's news. So this is how fascism takes over. The Bushistas control the media, suppress the truth, hide dissent and capture the weak-minded among the general populace. When we look back in a few centuries at days that matter in the destruction of democracy, Dec. 7, 1941 will live on a shining example of clever deception employed to save democracy, and June 10, 2002 will live on in infamy as the day that the media caved in to utter deceit and depravity, and America may well have died as republic, and been replaced by the Evil Empire. Remember, your contributions to "Bush/Cheney 1984" are fully tax sheltered by the wink-and-nod crowd. Get with the team!
