The blinders are off finally !! My local paper.
My local papers op-ed page today.


Snip:
Defense secretary must go

For the sake of our long-term relations with all nations, especially in the Middle East, President Bush should immediately fire Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

another letter..

Snip:
The torture of Iraqi prisoners is so unbelievably reprehensible that it requires the immediate firing of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
The torturing of prisoners under U.S. watch is not the type of military mishap that will be made OK by the court martial of a few underlings.
The buck stops at the top of the Defense Department.
I hope President Bush has the guts to do what's right and fire his secretary of defense as soon as possible.

another letter..

Snip:

What's worse: a president who knows not, a president who knows not that he knows not, a president who knows but doesn't know that he knows, or a president who simply lies? Bush, on the anniversary of the infamous "Mission Accomplished" performance ("Bush sees hope in Iraq," May 2) said "there are no longer torture chambers or mass graves or rape rooms in Iraq."

Is the problem short-term and long-term memory loss, ignorance, insanity, or prevarication?

2. Its about time
For a while there, the CDT was nothing but a Bush campaign flier. Reality sure feels good, doesn't it?
