lol realize too they get these kids at 18 or 19 Ray. They know it's easy to brainwash them then. That is also a crime IMO, misleading the naive into doing their bidding. They will understand the lies later when they grow up, and understand they were used by Bush and his people. What a damned shame for all of them involved! Just think if we had these kids going out helping people all around the world - at no charge! Spend 100 billion a year doing that - and you start to really change hearts and minds around the world....just my dream...t

We Need More Deep Throats __________________________ Thank You, Mark Felt By MIKE GRAVEL Former US Senator May 31, 2005 W. Mark Felt, the assistant director of the FBI during the Watergate scandal, has admitted to being "Deep Throat." He was the source of important information for Washington Post investigative reporters Woodward and Bernstein. Felt's revelations and tips kept the investigation alive by pulling back the shroud of secrecy hiding the criminal activities of the Nixon White House. Felt should receive the American Medal of Freedom for his courage and patriotism in defense of our democracy. The greatest threat to democracy is secrecy. It is a generic flaw of our representative system of government. Secrecy is endemic to government; it is the device government officialdom uses to hide the truth and to manipulate the media and the public, and is the slippery slope leading to tyranny. The only antidote to the excesses of secrecy is the occasional patriot leaking the truth to the media or to the Congress. Unfortunately, the Congress is all too complicit in maintaining secrecy in government. Thank you, Marc Felt, for your service to freedom and democracy; let us hope that your revelation is an incentive to present-day whistleblowers. The need for whistleblowers has never been greater. ______________________ Mike Gravel represented Alaska in the US Senate from 1969-1981.
