Hitler's Shadow and The Coming Storm

Despite many differences, there are striking parallels between Bush's invasion of Iraq and Hitler's invasion of Russia, and understanding these parallels serves to warn of the coming storm Bush is calling down upon all of us.

There's an old saying: Give someone enough rope and they automatically hang themselves.

It looks like even more U.S. authority figures are being nailed as liars.  The Washington Post today includes a story with the headline The Truth About Abu Ghraib, detailing the evidence that Major General Geoffrey D. Miller lied when he testified to Congress last year that he did not recommend the use of dogs for interrogation at Abu Ghraib, and that dogs had not been used at Guantanamo (where he was formerly the commander).

It seems to me that, again and again in our country, we find the people who run things acting as though information was something bad, something that needs to be guarded against at all costs.  Why is that?

I've attempted to post diary entries twice now, and screwed up both times.

Well, heading off to move my family somewhere out West, to one of those "undisclosed locations" people like to talk about.

I'll be gone for about a week, but you can and should check in with the Diaries Section to see all the great stuff the diarists are writing. You can make submissions as usual if you like, but the community will have to vote them up to the front page.

Wanna see your story up? Go tell your buddies to create an account and vote for your story. Tell everybody. We accept all comers, right, left, and center, into our little community.

One more thing: no more anonymous comments. I'm shutting it off because I like to know who I'm fighting with, even if it's just a bullshit screen name. Ya don't like it, don't post a comment. If you're interested in posting a comment, it takes about fifteen seconds to sign up, and since I run the site out of my own pocket, it's all free vittles.

Other than that, I love you all, and thanks for coming to this site and supporting me by reading what I have to say, and what our brilliant diarists have to say. Sign up and become a diarist yourself, it's actually quite liberating, to be able to post your thoughts for the whole world to see.

Peace, love, and electoral college,

Have you ever thought of something really clever, only to google it and find out you've been scooped? The title of this post, which has little to do with the rest of this snarkiness, is one of those instances. Check it. Those damn fantasy footballers.

Terrorism is a serious problem for the United States and many other countries. No one wants to turn attention away from it, and the public fear level is too high to turn away from it if you wanted to.  Yet while our full attention is turned to that problem, or at least to what we perceive as being that problem, several parallel phenomena are occurring that pose dangers just as great as those posed by terrorism.

And why doesn't the MSM cover stuff like this?

The U.S. military on Sunday said it was looking into how virtually identical quotations ended up in two of its news releases about different insurgent attacks.
