What did he lie about? The killing of innocent Afghans? So because I said that we should have looked at Afghanistan, do you take it to assume that I would be OK with carpet-bombing the hell out of the poor nation?

Michael Moore's film was mostly true. All the big stuff was. A few stretches of logic went too far, like Bush invading Afghanistan because of a Unocal pipeline deal. But that was a real issue for Bushies. No denying. However, Buish had no choice but to invade Afghanistan. It was where Osama's camps were. He was forced to invade. Funny though how Bush let Osama go then changed the subject to Saddam and claimed he no longer cared about Osama. Michael Moore's points about Bush and the Saudis have been proven true. In fact Moore underestimated them. Bush has a huge conflict of interest in any war on terror. He's in bed with the Saudis (including the Bin Lauden family) the source of much of the terrorism. In fact as the Dubai Ports deal proves, Bush cares more about the Saudis than he does about Americans. But the saudis have paid the Bush family many millions. Americans have not. Ironic that Bushies are now back to demonizing Arabs as Bush sees his financial future there and is pushing to make huge deals with them.

College paper's editor fired over Mohammed cartoons cnn ^ \| 1-15-06 CHAMPAIGN, Illinois (AP) -- An editor who chose to publish caricatures of Prophet Mohammed in the University of Illinois' student-run newspaper last month has been fired, the paper's publisher announced Tuesday. Acton H. Gorton was suspended, with pay, from The Daily Illini days after the Feb. 9 publication of the cartoons, which sparked Muslim protests around the world after they first appeared in a Danish newspaper. At the time, Daily Illini publishers said the action was taken against Gorton not for publishing the cartoons, but for failing to discuss it with others in the newsroom first. The Illini Media Co. board of directors, which comprises students and faculty, voted unanimously to fire the editor after a review "found that Gorton violated Daily Illini policies about thoughtful discussion of and preparation for the publication of inflammatory material," according to a statement. Gorton has said he sought out advice from The Daily Illini's former editor-in-chief and others before deciding to run the cartoons. He has said that accusations he tried to hide his decision were wrong. On Tuesday, he called his firing a blow against free speech on college campuses. "If I can be fired, what will other students think who maybe want to challenge the status quo?" said Gorton, who had briefly addressed a board meeting the previous night. "This is a bad precedent." Gorton said he intends to sue the publishers of The Daily Illini, citing, among other complaints, unlawful dismissal. (Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
