Attacking the Truth Tellers
Webster's defines an "ad hominem" attack as: marked by an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made ...

When O'Neill's revelations came out that bush had been planning an invasion of Iraq since the day he took office, the bush administration attacked him saying that he had stolen secret documents ... O'Neill has been cleared of these allegations by a Treasury Department investigation ... and no evidence was provided to refute O'Neill's charges ...

Now we have the Clarke revelations that bush ignored warnings on Iraq ... the reaction ?? all he wants to do is sell his book ... and besides, he's a colleague of Rand Beers who works for the Kerry campaign ... during Watergate, we used to call this a non-denial denial ... and no evidence was provided to refute Clarke's charges ...

and the most cutting of them all is the recent David Kay statement ... amazingly, bush has not responded to Kay's allegations ... Kay recently said: "We are in grave danger of having destroyed our credibility internationally and domestically with regard to warning about future events." How the hell are the bushies going to spin that disturbing truth ??

and there will be more books ... and bush and his buddies will cite the disloyalty of those who come forward to tell the truth after working inside his administration ... but in doing this, bush confuses loyalty to his corrupt, lying administration with loyalty to the country, the American people and the truth ...

1. Good post
Wouldn't it be something if Bush suddenly discovered a conscience?
