Yes. It shows courage to out the cowards... we have no need of cowards when the very integrity of our Constitution is being attacked from all sides.

Why am I not surprised? They have distorted everything with which they have come in contact. They have a cowardly Congress as accomplices and our nation and the planet is being destroyed by their complicity. The only thing that can clean up this mess is the Rapture.

This is not only good journalism, it is good Americanism and patriotism. God help us when all those Blackwater "contractors" are turned loose on American cities and towns once/if the Iraq occupation ends! It will be rape and pillage from wealthy reich-wing neocons with guns...

Blackwater = Black Shirts; same thing. A gun-toting bunch with no accountability to the citizenry.

"Man torturing man is a fiend beyond description. You turn a corner in the dark and there he is. You congeal into a bundle of inanimate fear. Where in your soul and body is the anesthesia for what is coming? But there is no escaping him. (You soil yourself and it runs down onto the cold, wet stone under your feet.) It is your turn now." ~Henry Miller "They are torturing people. They are torturing people on Guantanamo Bay. They are engaging in acts which amount to torture in the medieval sense of the phrase. They are engaging in good old-fashioned torture, as people would have understood it in the Dark Ages." ~Richard Bourke, Australian attorney

"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their country." ~George Washington

"Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest." ~Denis Diderot

Excellent for keeping us informed as to how Iraq continues to drain resources more vitally needed elsewhere.

We need more bravery in the "Fourty Estate" -- both electronic and paper!!!!! "The only effective restraint upon executive policy and power in the areas of national defense and international affairs may lie in an enlightened citizenry -- in an informed and critical public opinion which alone can here protect the values of democratic government." ~Justice Potter Stewart, writing in 1971 Pentagon Papers decision.
