Does it fit within their moral framework? <BR/><BR/>The Bushies repeatedly state that we are in a fight of good verses evil. They think they are permitted to wiretap and indefinitely detain Americans (abandoning <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeus_corpus" REL="nofollow">habeus corpus</A> and centuries of legal precedent). They are willing to kill (brown) people to advance their agenda in Iraq. So, at least on a theoretical level, doesn't it makes sense that 'a little stealing' at home and abroad probably wouldn't seem beyond the pale to them? Said differently, given everything that we've seen from them, why would they find burglary unacceptable but lots of other hideous things (like torture) acceptable?<BR/><BR/>That doesn't mean they did it in this case. It just means that their broad extra-legal worldview would seem to permit this sort of thing (as it did in a previous Republican administration). Which all serves to make me curious about these incidents.RFK Action Fronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13367576871260141948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12798432.post-4679652281621662112007-07-13T08:24:00.000-07:002007-07-13T08:24:00.000-07:00It could be Decepticons trying to locate the All-S...It could be Decepticons trying to locate the All-Spark. We should notify Optimus Prime Immediately!<BR/><BR/>Kidding, this post is so disconcerting i must result to adolescent humor to balance my primal rage.<BR/><BR/>I love the latest republican spin fountain...That the civil war in iraq has shifted and is now mostly Al Qaeda forces battling US troops.<BR/><BR/>Pretty much any resistance is now labled Al Qaeda for the obvious emotional connection with the 911 attacks. "we have all agreed Al Qaeda is evil and this is definitely that."<BR/><BR/>Now i have not been on the ground in Iraq, but if i had to venture a guess, the resistance is a group of desparate completely disenfranchised men with nothing else to do and a clear object of frustration. If there were some other country's tanks rolling down my street and i could not find work because they had blown everything to shit, i would be the first in line with a sticky bomb.<BR/>Point being, the repub's are aggressively lying and manipulating again, and nobody is calling then on it.Crapshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885585938318466909noreply@blogger.com
