Too Obvious To Mention: Obama-Era Lies Protect Bush-Era Crimes

Our new transformative president Obama's decision to fight a court order requiring the release of photos depicting the well-documented abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib -- while entirely in character for this transformative new administration -- is being widely described as shameful enough on its own, let alone for a president who portrayed himself as a champion of transparency and accountability in government.

Come, Let Us Celebrate The Best Of America, Living And Dead

Let's all have big parades to honor our professional and patriotic mass murderers, living and dead!

Let us line the streets to watch the psychopaths and fools -- and those who support the psychopaths and fools -- march by.

First Principles ... or Why I Cannot Support Barack Obama

Let us begin with the fact that George Bush and Dick Cheney were never legitimately elected to the Oval Office: not in 2000, and not in 2004.

In the American system, the authority of our government is based on the consent of the governed. This consent was not earned in either "election".

Therefore, the Bush-Cheney administrations of 2001-2009 were illegitimate, and the policies implemented by these illegitimate administrations are themselves illegitimate. Period.

If somebody steals your credit card and you report the theft, you are not responsible for purchases made on that card after it was stolen. We reported the theft in 2000; we screamed about the theft in 2004; but it did us no good at all.

Cheney, Hersh, Iqbal, Bhutto, bin Laden: Who's Dead? Who's Lying? Who Knows?

Dawn published a story yesterday by Anwar Iqbal which today has been retracted. Great.

And I blogged about it. Double-Great.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to save the original text in its entirety at Winter Parking, as I would normally do with a controversial story ... because Blogger was acting up. More greatness than I can stand.

I've updated the original piece on my blog, which you can see here, if you wish. Comments are welcome below.

I am still hampered with multiple injuries and quite overloaded this week, but I will do my best to get the "Pathway To Darkness" series rolling as soon as possible.

More apologies for more delays... ;-(
