    Bush Busy Attacking Messengers As Terrorists Remain Unmolested By Bill Gallagher July 3 2006
    Detroit - The attacks on the media, especially The New York Times, over revelations that the Bush administration has been secretly rummaging through international banking transactions, deflects attention from a far more serious issue.

    The Myth Of Terrorism, Part Deux By Larry C Johnson Sunday, 02 July 2006 at 15:23 How afraid should we be? If you listen to the Bush Administration, a minority of Supreme Court Justices, and the extreme right wing, the answer is simple. RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! President Bush and Vice President Cheney have said repeatedly that terrorism is an “unprecedented threat”. Because it is unprecedented we must, therefore, be prepared to do anything. Ron Suskind writes in his latest oeuvre, The One (…)

    (with apologies to the ghost of Hunter Thompson)
    The "fear factor" was initiated immediately after 9/11 in America, and never faded. In fact, it’s stronger than ever right now.
    First it was fear of the evil Taliban, then the dreaded Saddam Hussein and his "smoking nuclear gun and WMDs", the torture rooms and the threat to his neighbors, the world and especially the US of A...all B.S., of course.
    Then came the clever color coding gimmic, always starting with Yellow (never below), then (…)

    Bush Confused About Leaks By Larry C Johnson Tuesday, 27 June 2006 at 17:03 Bullshit alert! After watching George Bush and Dick Cheney weep and wail over the "damage" done by the New York Times for reporting that financial data is being dumped into the CIA as part of an effort to find terrorist networks, I kept waiting for Darryl Hannah to pop up and say, "Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night". Does George have Alzheimer’s Disease? Has he forgotten that he used to love the New York (…)

    Terrorists In Miami, Oh My! June 26, 2006 By Robert Parry
    The Bush administration finally took action against alleged terrorists living in plain sight in Miami, but they weren’t the right-wing Cuban terrorists implicated in actual acts of terror, such as blowing a civilian Cuban airliner out of the sky. They were seven young black men whose crime was more “aspirational than operational,” the FBI said.
