"Al Qaeda made us do it!" - M. R.

Yep, the "L" word is starting to go mainstream! - M. R.

Bush lied. People died. Impeach him along with everyone who aided him. If that includes the entire US Congress, so be it. Congress is supposed ot be a representative body, but from here it looks like mostly millionaires and lawyers, which probably explains why they haven;t a clue how to actually create a nation that can make and sell products. Congress should be made up of carpenters, doctors, teachers, road engineers, the people who actually know how to do the jobs that need to be done to make a nation work, and what it is like to live on the average income while dealing with skyrocketing taxes and mandated government paperwork. - M. R.

I told you the intelligence agencies were not going to let Bush dump this mess on them. - M. R.

Not quite the picture of government the state schools propagandized you into thinking you lived under, is it? - M. R.

Hatfill wants to sue the FBI for wrecking his life. the FBI wants to stop him, because Hatfill's day in court will blow the lid off of the cover-up of the real perpetrator.

"Documents from the inquiry show that one unauthorized person who was observed entering the lab building at night was Langford's predecessor, Lt. Col. Philip Zack, who at the time no longer worked at Fort Detrick. A surveillance camera recorded Zack being let in at 8:40 p.m. on Jan. 23, 1992" --"Anthrax Missing From Army Lab", The Hartford Courant, January 20, 2002 By JACK DOLAN And DAVE ALTIMARI, Courant Staff Writers - M. R.

Aside from the obvious edits to the tape, this raises more questions than it answers. While describing it as "mace", the Stewardess is talking about a volume of gas sufficient to block off the entire width of the cabin, and enough of it to maintain that cloud there for the duration of the hijacking despite the ventilation system. This is not something that can fit in a pocket. We are talking a sizable device here, not something easy to get past the security screeners even in those relaxed days. These hijackers batted 1000 against the security at every airport they used, carrying devices which under normal circumstances should have been detected. So this tape supports the theory that the hijackings were an inside job, done by someone able to bypass airport security to get the weapons used onto those planes. - M. R.

Okay, the government lied to start a war. We're past that. But while we heat up the tar and collect the feathers, there is another issue that has to be looked at. Where did the lies come from? More to the point, who made the decision start a war based on lies. Because frankly I cannot think of any greater crime against humanity than to start a war of conquest with lies and deceptions. And I cannot think of anyone more pathetic than those who know they were lied to and yet stay silent in their homes. - M. R.

Ummmmm, how does Arnold expect to repay a $4.5 million loan on a governor's salary? :) - M. R.

This is a polite way of saying that Bush relizes we all know he lied about the WMDs, and he only makes himself look worse by trying to sustain the lie. Frankly, I cannot imagine Americans voting for a President who lied to start a war. - M. R.

Weasel wording as an Olympic event. - M. R.

In order to force growers of GM foods to keep purchasing seeds every year, Monsanto has developed a "terminator" gene that prevents crops from their seeds from germinating in the wild. Ahe plants are sterile. Farmers cannot save seed stock for next year's planting; they must buy new seed from Monsanto. But recent history proves that Monsanto's artificial genes will spread into the wild, killing off natural species and non-Monsanto food crop species. Some are beginning to wonder if this isn't Monsanto's real goal. - M. R.

FIRE THE LIARS! FIRE THEM NOW BEFORE MORE OF OUR KIDS ARE CRIPPLED AND KILLED. - M. R.

Bush and Blair stand exposed for lying to start a war of conquest. But, whereas most of us moral people would feel shame and try to make amends, it seems that the primary concern for the warhawks is how to keep those @#@#% peaceniks from standing up and saying ."We tried to tell you there weren't any WMDs in Iraq". But, no problem, Bush and Blair will just claim that the anti-war movement were being BRIBED by Saddam, and how can you take seriously people with such dark and sinister motives, right? - M. R.

He would be looking silly, if so many people hadn't died in the process. - M. R.

Not mentioned in this story is that the seat numbers the stewerdess gave were NOT the seat numbers of the named hijackers. - M. R.

Bush is trying to spin the blame for the Iraq war onto CIA and "misread" intelligence, but Kay's latest admission shows that there was ample evidence that Saddam was complying with the United Nations resolutions in the 90s, and had in fact destroyed the chemical and biological weapons Bush and Blair insisted Saddam still had. - M. R.

And we do not mean sand. - M. R.

...to guard the pipeline and poppy harvest? - M. R.

Truth needs no law to enforce it. Nobody needs a law to know that there is just one sun at the center of the solar system. Nobody needs a law to force them to understand that two hydrogen atoms plus one oxygen atom makes up a molecule of water. Nobody needs a law to force them to understand that the acceleration of gravity is a constant. Truth is like that, obvius to all.

Throughout history, laws that punished ideas were used to support lies, not truth. Galileo was punished by law of his day for daring to suggest that the Sun was the center of the solar system. The law protected the lie that the Earth was the center of the universe. The lie that the Earth was the center of the universe NEEDED laws to protect it because there was no evidence to support that claim. In the middle ages, laws that condemned accused witches to horrific deaths were matched with laws that made it illegal to question the reality of witches. The claim that witches were real NEEDED a law to protect it, because there was no evidence that witches were riding their broomstcks up over the top of our homes or turning themselves into black cats.

Truth needs no laws to support it. Only lies require laws to force them upon the public.

I can think of nothing more dangerous to the world than this odious attempt to lead the world into a new dark age where fear rules fact and reason. - M. R.

Paper passports form the very center of a jet crash and fireball supposedly capable of melting steel "magically" survive to be found intact on the pavement below, to point the finger of blame. Suuuuuuuure. - M. R.

And of you can't believe General "My Lai" Powell, who can you believe? - M. R.

I understand Lord Hutton just became available. - M. R.

Sort of makes the whole thinking look like a dog and pony show to fol the public into thinking the government is keeping them safe, doesn't it? - M. R.

Can you call them "insurgents" when it's the entire population wants to kick your ass out of their country? - M. R.

The war in Iraq was not only illegal but unconstitutional. Congress did not vote for war. Congress voted to give the President authority to initiate a war on his own, which the Constitution expressly forbids. A government that does not conform to the Constitution ceases to be the legal government of this land. Both the Congress and the President have delegitimized themselves with this war. - M. R.

FBI rushes in to sweep the latest scandal under the rug. - M. R.

Around here people are going into debt to go to vocational schools to train for new careers. But when they graduate, they find that the new careers are as non-existent as their old ones. They are still out of work, with twice as much useless skill as they had before, and more bills. Training is not the answer to unemployment. JOBS are the answer to unemployment, and the only way we will get jobs back is for taxes to be slashed 1/3 to 1/2 across the board so that US companies can compete in the global marketplace. - M. R.

Richard Perle needs terror to further his NeoCon agenda, so of course it makes sense he would speak at a fundraiser held by a terrorist organization. - M. R.

The FBI pulled crap like this back during COINTELPRO - M. R.

Bush is going to have to invent some other reason to invade Syria. - M. R.

Just not in the US, of course. - M. R.

Remember when Wolfowitz admitted it was a lie they could all agree on? Now, stop and think about that for a moment. You live under the thumb of a government that openly discusses and decides what lie they will feed to you next. We are well past the point where anyone in government even dares voice the suggestion that the people who pay the bills deserve the truth. There is no question over whether to lie or not. The only question is, what lie can the government most likely get away with. And this in itself betrays that the government is so used to lying to the people that we cannot assume that anything we have been told is the truth. Indeed it appears that the American people are the most lied-to people on earth. We may be more lied to by the US Government than the Russians were lied to by the USSR.

Did Iraq have WMDs. The answer is unavoidably "no".

Was there a just reason to invade Iraq? he answer is an equal "no".

Is your money being taken, and the lives of your children placed at risk, because the nation is in danger and there is no other choice? Again, "no".

The government has been caught lying so many times that the lazy mind now seeks only to count those few times the government has told the truth. The wise and prudent citizen dares not assume that We The People are being told the truth about anything any more, whether it is the need for more wars, the reasons for past wars, even the legality of a government that willfully ignores the Constitution. - M. R.

The music has stopped, and everyone is scrambling for chairs. - M. R.

Ariel Sharon faces a war crimes trial the day he is no longer a head of state. Count on him to put that consideration ahead of all others, including the long-term welfare of the people of Israel. - M. R.

Meat companies claim to isolate the brains and spine of the cows to reduce the threat of "Mad Cow" prion contamination. But the method used to split the cows in half may spread spinal cord all over the rest of the beef. - M. R.

I don't know why they call MI5 and MI6 "Intelligence" because it was pretty obvious to everyone else that incredible claims of nasty Iraqi weapons coming from someone who opposes the Iraqi government should have been viewed with a great deal of suspicion and doubt right from the start. - M. R.

There were no WMDs, Saddam is in jail, WHY ARE OUR KIDS STILL IN IRAQ BEING CRIPPLED AND KILLED? - M. R.

Zundel's trial goes beyond his unpopular views and starts to show the dark side of covert operations the CSIS carries out against the Canadian people. - M. R.

Canada is accused of aiding the US in seding a man to Syria for a year of torture. the Canadian government is acting like it something to hide. - M. R.

Why this does not work is that Israel did not run the so-called security fence along the green line, but ran it deep into Palestinian territory making it very obvious that this was an attempt to redraw the border in concrete ahead of any peace settlement, i.e. a blatant land-grab. Coupled with the numerous UN Resolutions Israel stands in defiance of, and it is reasonable for the world to view Israel as a rogue state - M. R.

Imagine Germans deflecting criticism of Hitler by screaming "anti-Aryan"! Pretty damned silly, isn't it? - M. R.

Israel calling OTHER nations insincere????????? - M. R.

"Okay, how do we admit we lied without admitting we lied? Is there someone else we can blame for this? Gotta be someone who can't fight back. Gays. Can we find some way to blame the gays for this somehow?" - M. R.

"Gee, we really wanted to hire you for our programming department, but you know, we had to spend a few hundred thousand dollars to deal with the damage from that last virus attack, so, well, you know how it goes.

But leave us the address of that parking lot you and your family are living in and maybe we'll have something for you in another 6 months." - M. R.

It's one thing to conque and control a people who feel they might have done something to deserve it, and quite another to control a people who know their country was stolen from them with lies and deceptions. - M. R.

The British people should not wait for Blair to resign. The man does not deserve the dignity of walking out of number 10 on his feet but should be dragged out at the hands of the families of British soldiers killed and crippled in Iraq. And then it should be Bush's turn. Then Howard. Then Aznar. Then one by one everyone who helped build a war of conquest on lies must follow. - M. R.

"May"? - M. R.

Step one: Keep your soldiers, bulldozers, and planes, on YOUR side of the border. - M. R.

Better late than never, I guess. But spine would have been more timely a year ago. - M. R.

Oh? Then why did you guys feel the need to lie about them in the first place? And isn't it the fact of the lie that is the real issue here? - M. R.

Really? I do not recall him saying so publicly at the time. - M. R.

I think I've figured out where the last of the Nazi war criminals are hiding out. They are all homeowners association presidents. - M. R.

We already know the Hutton report will spare Blair, but his own party may find a way to dump him now rather than risk going into the 2005 elections with this particular albatross around their necks. - M. R.

Also, read the comment about the cardiac monitor pads. This confirms the obesrvations made here at this web site at the time of the incident. - M. R.

Okay, so Iraq didn;t have WMDs, and they weren;t a threat, and they weren;t part of 9-11, and they aren;t connected to Al Qaeda, but we were justifed in invading because, because, because, ummm, because, well, because we WERE, dammit! Stop asking questions and go back to work! You're subjects, already. Start acting like it." - M. R.

Anyone using Google to search for the Hutton report will be directed preferentially to the BBC's version of the story. - M. R.

The Sunni and Shia found something they agree on! - M. R.

That sounds good, but reading further in, it appears that Powell's real errand is to try to spring Mikhail Khodorkovsky. - M. R.

Frankly, the machinations by which the global warming cultists attempt to cling to their faith that global warming is responsible for the colder weather (along with the warnings of a new ice age in Britain) are starting to sound like "epicycles", the pseudo-science of math and bad logic used by those who wanted to believe that the Earth was the center of the universe when actual observations indicated otherwise. The Earth gets colder and hotter in intervals, mostly driven by the sun which is beyond our control, and that is the natural process. While I agree that wise use of our resources is essential, I view the idea that the Earth's temperature can or should be locked at its current level for the convenience of humans as a tinkering with nature that is just as artificial as the activities the environmentalists decry. - M. R.

Maybe we could outsource the executive branch. What am I saying? We already HAVE!!!! :) - M. R.

Do you get it yet? The United States has been subvered by a foreign power, with the cooperation of corrupt officials within the US Government. Your money is being spent, your nation bankrupted, your children killed and crippled in a war waged for the benefit of that same foreign power. - M. R.

Bush invaded Iraq to set the Iraqi free (so he says). Now the free Iraqis want the US to go home! - M. R.

We were right. The flag waving morons at those Clear Channel free lunches were wrong. - M. R.

This happens in Hollywood a lot. You can be hired to work on a film you know is going to be a disaster, try to warn management it's going to be a disaster unless changes are made, be ignored, then catch the blame when the film proves to be the disaster you knew it would be! However I agree that Eisner has just raised the practice to a new bone-headed record. - M. R.

This is nothing new. Incumbents have always done whatever they could to make the economy look good going into election season, regardless of the long term consequences. But with our economy as trained as it is, can Bush really manufacture a boom in 04, and more important, can the nation survive the eventual backlash? - M. R.

Bush lied. And the longer you wait to demand his removal from office, the more complicit you look to the rest of the world. - M. R.
