If the panorama could be viewed all at once, the American people would see an administration that, in summer 2003, felt it could pretty much do whatever it wanted to anyone. Bush's inner circle validated every cliche about the arrogance of power, particularly the old saying about absolute power corrupting absolutely.

In the modern media context, defending that omnipotence meant coming up with demeaning comments about critics who dared to speak out. The goal was to generate talking points that could be given to the administration’s many friends in Congress or at right-wing and mainstream news outlets.

...........

Viewing that national security damage in the additional context of nearly four years of unrelenting bloodshed in Iraq, the even larger question being asked by many Americans remains: Why aren’t Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Richard Armitage and possibly George W. Bush in the dock alongside Libby?

As Denis Collins, one of the Libby jurors, explained after the verdict, “we’re not saying that we didn’t think Mr. Libby was guilty of the things we found him guilty of. But it seemed like he was … the fall guy.”

2. MSM is telling us the story is over and it's old news now. Sure - because THEY were complicit

in every move the WH made on this story.

This story goes way deeper into the past than the corpmedia will say, and way into the future than they will acknowledge. The armsdealing and nuclear proliferation terror networks were scrupulously noted in IranContra and BCCI's unanswered questions, but never dealt with by a WH willing to open the books.

The AQ Khan network that Brewster-Jennings was tracking likely was leading to BFEE operatives working under Cheney's direction.

3. Let's have a contest:

who's more pissed off at the M$M's total complicity in the fascist takeover of our government?

you or me?

I'm at the point where I don't know how much more I can stand reading about all this. My BP is near aneurization level as I sit here.....

4. There are a few of us here with raised BP over the complicity of the media.

Watching it go down for the last ten years has certainly added frown lines to my forehead, but that's not going to stop me from calling them out at every opportunity. I KNOW the news business - they are more complicit now than at any other point in this nation's history.
