Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media. Noam Chomsky


The New York Times finally printed the story about Bush authorizing the NSA to conduct surveillance on people within the U.S. without a warrant claiming to be protecting the American people. If you read the oath the President takes he is charged with protecting the Construction before anything else. Yet it has been under a constant assault by this administration most notably by the so called Patriot Act and the huge increase in information being kept secret.
Some people are saying this is an impeachable action and everybody seems surprised that it is going on.
The White house asked the New York Times to not publish the story. They waited a full year after finding out about this and then published. That gave the reporter time to write a book that will come out soon that has as one of its main topics, Duh! Guess
The trouble with impeachment is that would give us Cheney as President though he could be impeached as well for other things that have happened. The scary thing is next in line is the President Pro Tem of the Senate. Guess who that is, A certain Alaska Senator who threw a huge temper tantrum on the senate floor a while ago when they tried to take his 200 Million Dollar bridge to nowhere out of the budget.
There really should be some sort of competence test for people running for office.
Of course it would make the news a lot less entertaining.
