There are rumors now that the GOP was warning congressional pages as far back as 2001 to watch out for the sick bastard. In my opinion Foley was "sacrificed" to distract media attention away from the suspension of habeus corpus: the top of every news hour now leads with more sordid details of the Foley story, and the truly alarming story on habeus corpus - the one that *really* matters - has already disappeared for the most part from Corporate Media. It's probably lying moldering somewhere in a news morgue...a fitting symmetry it would seem. That “something shiny” is the Foley story.

You "knew" everyone was lying about WMDs (some of which were used in Iraq on the Kurds)...hmmmm. Perhaps real life is truly more complicated that the price of mangos at Kroger and that our leaders should be given something of the benefit of doubt for trying to balance our safety and security and civil liberties. While legitimate debate is good, prayer for leaders is better, and support for them is crucial. If you have legitimate concerns tell someone that can do some good--express them to your elected representatives. Then you could work to get good representatives elected--call their campaign headquarters and help out. But the whining does nothing for me.

I had heard the speech that Colin Powell gave to the U.N. in a speech class and I had found it convincing. It sounded like he had real evidence. I would like to believe that four years of college education have sharpened my critical thinking skills. In any case, I'll probably end up voting Libertarian next election. They don't have a chance of winning, but it's better to vote your conscience than for the candidate who will win. mostpeople: In fairness to myself, I had just turned 18 at the time.
