CNN is covering Foley extensively, and they are making a link between this issue and other issues of abuse of power.
This is a theme worth picking up on more. We're making that point, and Kos has an article on the front page right now about Power over Security, but I think the specific phrase "Abuse of Power" is worth repeating more.
CNN just had those words splashed across the screen...lets help make them stick. Besides, that really is what most of this is about.
The Foley mess is clearly an abuse of power, both by him toward the page, and by the leadership in a cover-up.
CNN mentioned the business scandals as an abuse of power...we forget about those sometimes, but that all happened under this crew, and that's exactly what it is. Halliburton specifically represents many abuses of power.
Everything about the illegal wiretapping, executive aggrandizement, and destruction of constitutional protections and checks and balances is an abuse of power.
Torture is certainly an abuse of power.
Everything about how Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, et al. led us into the Iraq war was an abuse of power.
I could go on. And right on the same CNN program, they had Richard Viguerie, one of the top conservative fund raisers ever, saying he no longer considers himself a Republican (he says they have betrayed Reagan conservatives like himself). And why? Because everything they do is just to keep power. Yes, from the horse's mouth, it's all about abuse of power.
