Via Crooks and Liars- Condi meets Pumpkinhead
I'm listening to this and I'm so mad I could just spit. "I'm not a lawyer..." but you're a lyin' bitch.
I could give them the benefit of a cynical doubt on this but the thing about these kinds of programs is they always seem to turn to things like the military spying on Quakers.
The most I could come up with is three sentences in a row without an outright lie. The single most telling factor in our inability to catch the 9/11 hijackers was BushCo incompetence. Condi, you played a big part in that and I find it uproariously ironic that you managed to bring up the Presidential Daily Brief.
I've always thought of BushCo as being just a bunch of self-aggrandizing (get rich) fascists. The domestic spying, that I always figured was going on and is now coming to light, is the issue to use to neutralize this administration. They've done enough damage and they should now be busy defending themselves against criminal charges instead of making their harebrained schemes.
This student got a taste of Department of Homeland Security efficiency when visited by them for requesting a copy of Mao's Little Red Book through inter-library loan. What the hell has that got to do with anything?
Update: Kos has the debunking of the student. I shoulda gone with my gut on this one but in my defense I gotta say there is a Kafkaesque sense to a lot of what is going on. Our government is combing the communications of Americans while Osama is eating falafel and slapping his knee. Probably the thing that has him the most upset is this. ¶ 12/18/2005 10:33:00 PM
