As I noted several times over the past week-plus, since the elections in Iraq went well and since the Iraqi people seem happy, there hasn’t been any “news” to report, so the media have had to invent things. First The New York Times comes up with a one-year old story that Ariana Huffington calls the “bombshell story of the year” — God, are these people stupid — then the ever lovin’ scum that pretend to report the facts miss out on several real stories that DO affect us (FBI misconduct, DoD misconduct, assassination attempts, etc.).
But hell, the "Bush Did It and Is Going To Keep Doing It" tale has all the ingredients the media loves: George Bush, spying, civil rights, and the feigned outrage of bastards who never did a thing for their country that didn’t pay off in spades.
All I have to say (again) is: Keep the surveillance going, Mr. President. Regardless of what the media reports they represent but a small portion of the public. The vast majority of us understand the reasons why surveillance is necessary and don’t care because we’re not terrorists.
Those who don’t understand make strange bedfellows: liberals and militiamen.
They’re welcome to each other.
