I read the piece....and to dilute its message to "the war on terrorism is bogus" bothers me. (Yeah, I know...it's hard to cram a full paragraph into the title box) The war on terrorism is quite real, but the reasons we need the war, and what we really expect to accomplish, are suspect. If half the assertions in that piece is true, it's very scary stuff.

I don't LIKE having to be suspicious of the basic motivations of my own government, nor do I appreciate being lied to...even if they explain "it's ultimately for your own good"!

I think I'll re-read all this tomorrow in the light of day and see if I can sort out what seems to be 'truth' from what might be paranoid speculation.
