That certainly takes the blush off the rose.

Thanks for posting this, Octafish.

And we know why.

You are most welcome, malokvale77!

Watching this I can't help but wonder when the thoughts like those expressed by Pinter will become illegal to hear and say.

Did you hear what Judge Laurence Silberman wrote about journalists who say out loud: "Bush lied American into war"?

When Pinter discusses Central America and Chile I remember how easily Americans accepted our government's position that those wars/coup d'état were necessary. Obviously, the lies that got us into the Iraq War concern the power structure. In order for Jeb Bush to run for President something needed to be said to counter the bad image the Iraq war and his brother have with the American people. Silberman is planting the seed that can be picked up by the right wing media echo chamber as 2016 nears.

words and those of many like him are what we need here at DU, simply because these important conversations reach far beyond DU, and THAT cannot be stopped...trolls and warmongers be damned to hell.

Globally, people are realizing all that we are being robbed of through war, death and destruction through covert economic hit men & all things done in the dark under the guise of nat'l security, etc.

These things aren't done to benefit the people, they are done for profit and empire for the few.

The transparency we were promised is being delivered, not by democracy, but by the hijacking of it, and as that transparency unfolds we will find the remedies.
