Who can compete with the breathless, searing honesty of u.s. secret state artists?
Contrast it with this tepid british offering:
In Rumsfeld's view, the free press can co-exist with government sponsored/produced/paid news. "It doesn't mean we have to infringe on the role of the free press, they can go do what they do, and that's fine," says Rumsfeld. "
Well, it's not fine, but it's what it is, let's put it that way."
The excellent
Winter Patriot puts it rather more straightforwardly:
The twice unelected President George W. Bush, the twice unelected Vice President Dick Cheney, current Secretary of State and former National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, and former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan.
The deliberately deceitful actions of these eight people ... have resulted directly and immediately in the unwarranted deaths of at least a million people, and the unnecessary destruction of the lives of millions more.
And it will kill and ruin many more, no matter how or when it ends.
And, by lucky coincidence, aangirfan, has a piece on
'home-grown' information terror
