"Who" Can't Handle the Truth?
Amnesty International Challenges U.S. to Open Guantanamo for Inspections
TOKYO, Jun 2 (MASNET & News Agencies) - "The head of Amnesty International hit back at U.S. outrage over the group labeling Guantanamo Bay a "gulag" and challenged Washington to open the military detention center to outside inspections."[full story]
Any guess's as to what Washington's reply will be? I'm opting for "Ah No", or "Not just NO, but HELL NO!".
I find it thought-provoking that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and even Britian's Blair were all touting AI back in 02 for their assessment of Saddam and his treatment of Iraqi's. They "got it right..." in regards to Sudan. Back then AI was "a great international orgainzation, with no political agenda...". My, my how the attitudes have changed since it's they and not their pseudo-enemy on the stinging end of the truth.
The problem is that more and more our government is seeing the rest of the world as a place they need to either liberate (conquer) or instruct on the proper way to lead and govern. It is little wonder so many in the world disrespect, dislike and fear us.
Our government would do well to heed the doctrine, "first do no harm"

Deep Throat
It's THE hot topic. [ full story ]
Reactions are split right down party lines.
Republicans think he's a traitor. Everyone else thinks he's a hero.
Republicans say he's nothing more than a footnote in the history of the 20th century. Everyone else says he changed the face of politics in the 20th century.
As for me, I say, where is the Mark Felt of today?
Woodward & Bernstein? Ben Bradlee (Washington Post Editor durning those dark days)?
Where are your brethren today?
Come out, come out wherever you are.
If there was ever a time we needed men like these, it would be now.
