"Power corrupts. And republicans are no exception."

Actually politicians are more like the best example than the exception. So we are in agreement here.

" The bottom line is that this administration seems to require that everyone "just trust" them and their motives. "

I am sure they would like that but that isn't the case by a long shot. Not only was this group thoroughly checked out prior to their departure but there was an investigative commission that verified that the whole thing was done well.

"And I'm still curious why 4 of them didn't even get an interview. "

Fine but you are dismissive of all plausible and reasonable explanations including that the commission approved of the handling of everything. You would probably not be satisfied even if you saw transcripts of the interviews and a roster with demographics of all the people.

"It is also disingenuous of you to complain about Moore if you don't also complain about all of the righty propaganda that is equally deceptive."

No it isn't. Moore's work has been thoroughly exposed as deceptive. I also have expressed doubt about the Swift Boat Vets positions but only because their obvious political entanglements expose a bias.

I don't say that all left wing stuff is deceptive and I endorse some liberal causes but I can't agree with you when you say everyone right wing or left wing is as equally deceptive as Michael Moore. He's one of the champs.

" ...propaganda that is equally deceptive."

I am not an advocate of trying to choose or support some, so called, lesser evil. I don't believe in such things.
