A synthesis would lead to disquieting conclusions about what is really going on in Washington today. Add one part blog: "And I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples' heads on television to intimidate, to frighten - indeed the word 'terrorized' is just that. Its purpose is to terrorize, to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be." -- Donald Rumsfeld, speaking in Mosul, Iraq, December, 2004 xymphora.blogspot.com Add another part brag: "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

No actual Arabs need apply for terrorist roles. The Special Forces of the United States of Terror are professionals. No one else need apply. Qui bono?

That group would be the U.S. corporate elite. It is well past time that they be brought to justice.
