I was thinking about that today. I was wondering how much of these "espinage" acts was due to religious affinity and how much of it came from the natural sympathy a human being feels for his fellow man under inhumane conditions.

Clark Says White House Twisted Iraq Facts __________________ NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press Posted on Thu, Oct. 02, 2003 bayarea.com WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark, in his harshest criticism yet of the Bush administration, said the White House has relied on twisted facts and demonized its critics to pursue war with Iraq. In remarks prepared for delivery Friday, Clark said the administration's handling of foreign policy has put Americans in danger and may be criminal. He called for an independent review of the administration's "possible manipulation of intelligence," including information used to justify war with Iraq and the possible leak of the name of a covert CIA agent. "Nothing could be a more serious violation of public trust than to consciously make a case for war based on false claims," he said in remarks prepared for delivery to a group of military reporters and editors. "We need to know if we were intentionally deceived." Clark, a retired four-star Army general and former NATO supreme allied commander, entered the presidential race three weeks ago. He's presenting himself as the Democratic candidate with the best national security credentials to take on President Bush. Clark said the administration entered office determined to wage war with Iraq and seized on the Sept. 11 attacks for justification. He accused the administration of violating principles of American democracy. "This administration is trying to do something that ought to be politically impossible to do in a democracy, and that is to govern against the will of the majority," he said. "That requires twisted facts, silence, secrecy, and very poor lighting. That's why you need night-vision goggles to see what's going on over there." ON THE NET Clark campaign: clark04.com
