[CitizensTruth] Preparing the Battlefield

[Hal Snyder]

Candy Crowley's last question speaks volumes. After we hear that Bush  
and Cheney are authorizing murder and mayhem and subverting mandated  
checks and balances to do so, she asks,

"Can you give me in a nutshell why it's so dangerous. Is it because  
it could prompt a war with Iran if they were to find these special  
ops people?"

No mention of the question of morality, of whether it might in some  
sense be wrong to go about ordering kidnapping and murder. No mention  
of the irony of Bush and Cheney ordering black ops while they claim  
to oppose terror, or doing everything in secret as they demand ever  
more transparency into *our* personal lives. No mention of the  
extended history of human misery and blowback from over 100 years of  
U.S. interventionism, including the overthrow of a previous  
democratically elected government in Iran.

I don't think we need Hindenberg-style hysterics. If she had merely  
asked a couple important questions, it would have been enough.

The Executive branch of our government is insane, and as disturbing  
as that might be, what makes it worse is the profound dissociation of  
many who see it. It's like a bad dream.
