Bush's America becomes a byword for deception, abuse of power

Last week an opinion piece in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz about the killing of Sheik Ahmed Yassin said, "This isn't America; the government did not invent intelligence material nor exaggerate the description of the threat to justify their attack."

So even in Israel, President George W. Bush's America has become a byword for deception and abuse of power. And the ad-ministration's reaction to Richard Clarke's Against All Enemies provides more evidence of something rotten in the government.

The truth is that among experts, what Clarke says about Bush's terrorism policy isn't controversial. The facts that terrorism was placed on the back burner before Sept. 11 and that Bush blamed Iraq despite the lack of evidence are confirmed by many sources -- including Bush at War, by Bob Woodward.

I personally watched Bob 'Whore' Woodward on Larry King say, 'Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. And when you go into Iraq you'll always find MORE weapons of mass destruction than what is currently known or being talked about. This is the rule.' (paraphrase). I guess I should say it direcly instead of beating around the bush. I think Woodward is a CIA/NSA/Repuke mole. Woodward willingly lied to the American people. Woodward conspired to commit treason against the American People and the Constitution of the United States.

Where are the honest and moral media reporters playing back the Woodward tapes?
