more troubling point is that there has been little improvement in the
Washington political/media structure that failed to call Bush out on
his lies in a timely fashion."

Must Read - A quote...."
30/05/08 "ICH' -- - Justin Raimondo has
a good column
this morning on Antiwar.com. It is written as a fundraiser. But

nearly identical to that made by one of their colleagues.
"Then he said he had to look at a lot of samples
