2. No media to call them on anything...'cept AAR...
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 12:52 AM by Zinfandel
They know they can lie all they want, who's going to do their job and call them on it, in a national forum? They know this and cultivate it.

The reporters ("journalist") don't give a shit...Why rock the boat and not be able to pay the mortgage on their summer homes?

Not that their republican editors or republican owned television station management would ever allow the truth be told!

Support the ONLY daily national voice on the air waves we have, get stronger...AAR!

4. Whopping Discrepancies on Terrorism Prosecution Claims from Bush
Washington Post Exposes Whopping Discrepancies on Successful Terrorism Prosecution Claims from Bush
12 June 2005



In the first of a two part series, the Washington Post has exposed whopping discrepancies in claims from Bush on Thursday that “federal terrorism investigations have resulted in charges against more than 400 suspects, and more than half of those charged have been convicted.” Bush made this claim, while “flanked by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales”, in a speech to promote renewing the Patriot Act.

Those statistics have been used repeatedly by Bush and other administration officials, including Gonzales and his predecessor, John D. Ashcroft, to characterize the government's efforts against terrorism.

But the numbers are misleading at best.

An analysis of the Justice Department's own list of terrorism prosecutions by The Washington Post shows that 39 people -- not 200, as officials have implied -- were convicted of crimes related to terrorism or national security.

Here is where it gets better…
