More BushCo broken laws:
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 01:37 PM by FormerRepublican
"By law, the Bush administration is expressly prohibited from disseminating government propaganda at home."

We know from reading the New York Times and the Washington Post that BushCo broke laws on propaganda on US soil. The story in the Rolling Stone needs to get a LOT of circulation. An excellent story on a totally disgusting subject. Washington is in serious need of a purge.

"The road to war in Iraq led through many unlikely places. One of them was a chic hotel nestled among the strip bars and brothels that cater to foreigners in the town of Pattaya, on the Gulf of Thailand.

On December 17th, 2001, in a small room within the sound of the crashing tide, a CIA officer attached metal electrodes to the ring and index fingers of a man sitting pensively in a padded chair. The officer then stretched a black rubber tube, pleated like an accordion, around the man's chest and another across his abdomen. Finally, he slipped a thick cuff over the man's brachial artery, on the inside of his upper arm.

Strapped to the polygraph machine was Adnan Ihsan Saeed al-Haideri, a forty-three-year-old Iraqi who had fled his homeland in Kurdistan and was now determined to bring down Saddam Hussein. For hours, as thin mechanical styluses traced black lines on rolling graph paper, al-Haideri laid out an explosive tale. Answering yes and no to a series of questions, he insisted repeatedly that he was a civil engineer who had helped Saddam's men to secretly bury tons of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons. The illegal arms, according to al-Haideri, were buried in subterranean wells, hidden in private villas, even stashed beneath the Saddam Hussein Hospital, the largest medical facility in Baghdad.

It was damning stuff -- just the kind of evidence the Bush administration was looking for. If the charges were true, they would offer the White House a compelling reason to invade Iraq and depose Saddam. That's why the Pentagon had flown a CIA polygraph expert to Pattaya: to question al-Haideri and confirm, once and for all, that Saddam was secretly stockpiling weapons of mass destruction."

These people are so buried in dirt and so lost in the difference between right and wrong that they haven't got a freaking clue about what's in the best interests of the United States. These are some freaky, scary, misguided fools (and not in a lack of intelligence sense, but in a megalomaniacal sense). Propaganda in the US press needs to stop - immediately!
