If more journalists, newspapers, TV and radio told the truth, the Bush Administration would probably soon lose power and influence. Bush would be impeached and many in the Bush Administration would be prosecuted for war crimes. However truth and integrity
is something that is avoided, if not sneered at in the US today. The shift
toward some kind of American fascism, the incredible questions about 9/11,
and the many lies about the Iraq war that Bush continues to repeat, and
the new pre-emptive nuclear war strategy, are off limits for most US media.

The 4,000 American Legion delegates voted
unanimously for a resolution declaring, "The American Legion fully
supports the President of the United States" and "our armed
forces" engaged "in the global war on terrorism" and "in
protecting our values and way of life." ....continue.... |
