Why is the entire nation not just appalled and disgusted and aghast at finding seemingly irrefutable proofs about what we all already knew, which is that BushCo planned to invade Iraq long before 9/11 and needed to find a way to justify it? Because Paris Hilton has higher name recognition than Denny Hastert. jttmab

Last night's Frontline program on PBS was about military contractors in Iraq pbs.org One of the interesting (but easy to miss) facts in the program was that KBR (a subsidiary of Dick Cheney's company) started building infrastructure to support the invasion 6 months before the official decision to invade. By coincident this is about the same time that UK's top spook concluded the invasion is a foregone conclusion and all that is left is fixing the facts. Now I wonder why would Halliburton go ahead with war preparation and construction 6 months before Bush supposedly made up his mind to invade. Could it be they knew something the public did not know?

The corporate media doesn't want to deal with the DSM because it means admitting to themselves and, more importantly, to the public that they WERE DUPED while being stupid and lazy. - Their first whining point is that they, being professionals, knew all about everything outlined in the DSM BEFORE the DSM even came out. - Their second main whining point is that they're tired of amateur readers and amateur bloggers pointing out quite correctly that the 'professionals' are ignorant and lazy and not doing their jobs well. Just as CongressPeople know that these are the best jobs they will ever have and the most important they will ever be, professional journalists will hit back at anything that threatens their cushy world. For goodness sakes, how many times can the WashPost say: you're right, we didn't get it but we're sorta sorry. The corporate press is losing its grip on the news and it knows it. It's gone so far into infotainment that its 'news' doesn't appear altogether that credible any longer.
