"This is an administration that will not talk about how we gather
intelligence, how we know what we're going to do, nor what our plans are."
George W. Bush to the press at Camp David 9-15-2001.

What do you make of that statement today?

3. Tao of war is deception.
It was true when Sun Tzu wrote it in the Art of War more than 2500 years ago and its true now. The way of war of deception, the way of peace is truthfulness. Which then best decribes Bush's relationship with us, the American people?

6. Heard an interview
with one of the main drivers and founders of National Security Archives (Gov't Watchdog group) and the time it takes them to get their FOIA requests has more than tripled in last five years, they're also getting material more heavily redacted than previous.
