than just this; H2O Man said something on thread six that piqued my interest. It was in post #296; I'll take the liberty of quoting him here, responding to robertpaulsen:
"You have done a flawless job of transposing the questions from Dallas to Washington. And then you follow-up with a serious question on "who benefitted"? Is it government, or is it business?
I'm going to answer that, although there is some risk that I will repeat some information I put on the first thread of this conversation. It's nothing new, and certainly nothing original in what I'm saying. In fact, back before WW2, some of the most insightful thinkers around the globe noted it as a growing hreat to humanity. And Ike warned the nation, as you witnessed on the movie JFK.
Government and big business are the same thing. Look at Halliburton: my God, that is so unAmerican! This corporation in all of its manifest forms runs the foreign policy of America .... not for the good of our citizens (as Michael Moore showed so well!), but rather for the good of the investors!
Forget bush for a moment. Look at men like cheney, or rumsfeld, or any one of a dozen more in this administration: they serve in an administration, go into private business, serve in an administration, and go back and forth."
And here we have the material for a whole series of books, just in the lone concept that there seem to be these same groups of people, over and over again, decade after decade, running this nation's show. I think we need to consider this outing of a CIA agent, this outright contempt for our nation's security and the People as a whole, as part of a much larger picture.
