I recently bought the DVD of "V for Vendetta" and proceeded to watch the excellent film for the second time last night. It just struck me how the current U.S. government will go to such *transparent* lengths to create fear about terrorism.
What the Republicans plan to do in the next two months isn't suprising, but the complicity of the Democrats in the new terror hysteria is inexcusable. They'll talk about how they will fight the "War on Terror" better, not on how the "war" is a bunch of bullshit to begin with. The American radical left hasn't been much better. We've seen protests against the Iraq War, but very little opposition to the "War on Terror."
Oh, Cockburn redeemed himself in my eyes with that excellent attack on 9/11 conspiracists.
