| Subject: What we're letting the Bush Administration get away with |
|
| Today, we have a roundup of some of the various things the Bush administration in specific and the GOP in general and its supporters are getting away with as we speak. This is by no means a definitive list, but it should give you a glimpse of just how many outrages are slipping past us under the watchful eye of the so-called "liberal media". ( What International Law? ) ( Gitmo and the Assault on Human Rights ) ( Where's Osama? and Other Forgotten Villains ) ( Valerie Who? ) ( Bribery and Extortion: On the Domestic Front ) ( GOP Gerrymandering ) ( Tweaking the Ballots ) ( Electronic Voting Fraud: The Diebold Controversy ) Part of the problem, unfortunately, is that the Bush administration, the GOP as a party, and many of their supporters are guilty of /so/ many crimes, ethics violations, or plain old moral bankruptcy that it's difficult to mount a coherent narrative against them that does justice to the full extent of the outrage. It's difficult to know where to begin when there are levels of corruption and criminal misconduct that I haven't even begun to touch on in the foregoing. And unfortunately, most of these issues--while crucially important--are too complex to distill down into a bite-sized, simple talking point that can be used to counteract the lies or draw attention to that which goes unreported. But don't let that daunt you. We have to start somewhere. |

| Subject: More on Gitmo from The Guardian |
|
| The Guardian has an outstanding, if extremely disturbing article on Guantanamo Bay. This needs to be required reading by everyone--it has a great deal of information and detail on the arbitrary abductions of many of the prisoners, and the conditions to which they have been treated. If you needed any more evidence that our so-called war on terror is a miserable failure, you need to read The Guardian's article. |
