Silence is Consent

If you don't speak up you accept what is happening. This site was born out of the mainstream media's inability to cover the news. I am just an American cititzen trying to spread the word in the era of FCC consolidation, post 9/11 Patriot Act hysteria, hackable voting machines and war without end. I rant and post news items I perceive to be relevant to our current situation.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
- Thomas Jefferson

Editorials Question Bush's Role in 'Cooking' Up a War
In the wake of the latest revelations from weapons inspector David Kay, many of the largest U.S. newspapers are belatedly pressing the Bush administration for an explanation of how it could have gotten the question of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq so wrong in the march to war last year. A growing number are raising the possibility that Bush and his team may have "cooked" the intelligence to support their case for war.

Tony Blair has been having to answer for this for quite some time and now it is Bush's turn. Folks as you know, if you come to this site regularly, the fact that the President lied about WMD is not a shocker. It's just that if the media doesn't report it then most Americans do not go find this information on their own. We know they "cherry picked" the intelligence, used worse case scenarios and told us of muchroom clouds. Now let's see if Eric Alterman's "so called liberal media" (SCLM) will give the President and his administration the Lewinsky treatment.

David Kay says:
Kay: 'We Were Almost All Wrong'
Former top U.S. weapons inspector David Kay told members of the Senate Wednesday that the failure to turn up weapons of mass destruction in Iraq exposed weaknesses in America's intelligence-gathering apparatus.

The Center for American Progress says:
Neglecting Intelligence, Ignoring Warnings
Former weapons inspector David Kay now says Iraq probably did not have WMD before the war, a major blow to the Bush Administration which used the WMD argument as the rationale for war. Unfortunately, Kay and the Administration are now attempting to shift the blame for misleading America onto the intelligence community. But a review of the facts shows the intelligence community repeatedly warned the Bush Administration about the weakness of its case, but was circumvented, overruled, and ignored. The following is year-by-year timeline of those warnings.
