...and what snapped me out of my cooing for the halcyon days of Watergate was the fact that Bob Woodward was given unprecedented access to the President during the Iraq run-up and implementation.
Bob Woodward is a journalistic, "wet boy," for the intelligence agencies. Nixon was nailed by Woodward because the CIA wanted it done, period.
There is clearly a schism between two camps of ruling elites -- those who want the CIA involved in the further expansion of neo-fascism, and those who do not. But there is no question but that the ruling elites have decided against democracy and democratic rule in favor of fascism.
The only way these examples of in-breeding and arrested development will back-off is if we unite under the common purpose of preserving and protecting our US Constitution. Anything half-baked will not get our point across. Those cut from the same cloth as Cheney can be communicated only by crossing swords and decisive action. And that means that they are playing hardball.
Are you ready to play real hardball with people who have nothing left to lose?

It does not surprise me that outlets such as FOX and certain newspapers have been open support for the current administration, despite their mandate to be unbiased and simply report. But I have been appalled at the supposed mainstream media's complicity in the charade. Again and again the major networks and major newspapers have failed to ask the big questions and have taken at face value the most ludicrous of statements by the Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Ashcroft and others at the top. Any Republican who has contradicted the party line has been ostracized, demoted, defamed, called a liar, and had their sanity called into question. Any Democrat who has spoken out against the administration has been branded as weak, unpatriotic, soft on defense, and been ostracized, defamed, called a liar, and had their sanity called into question. Meanwhile, the big papers who once did this country so much good by actually looking for the truth—does anyone remember Watergate?—are now content to pick up any old rumor and pass it on, take their lead stories off the wire servicews, and rehash press releases to keep the advertisers and corprate backers happy.
