I have been waiting to write my first post until I had something to add that was meaningful and thought provoking.
Two of today’s posts-Dick Cheney glorifying Bush and Scott Ritter warning of a war with Iran-reminded me to re-read the transcript of a Scott Ritter interview on Fox News held on September 13th, 2002.
A truly prescient discussion (on Ritter’s part, not Fix news) on the merits of war with Iraq, chock full of the Repugnican Party/Fix News’ linkage of Czech spies with Saddam Hussein, linkage of Al-Qaeda/ Iraq, WMD, Bushco’s cherry picking of information. Pretty much everything Ritter states in this lengthy interview has come true. The interview was hostile, as Fix news makes its false talking points to a very concerned Ritter.
After years of suppression of information, violations of the US Constitution, a Supreme Court Justice who somehow believes that torturing an innocent person is not punishment if they aren’t being accused of a crime, oil prices up 5 fold, an economy in turmoil, the ongoing Katrina disaster, the Terry Shiavo charade and five long years after mission accomplished, I urge all to read this interview. There in nothing new here, but if any of you have a mind like mine, that tends to need a refresher course occasionally, this one interview is exceptional.
