It's pretty grim. Nonetheless, I'd like to see it on some middle of the road site.

I should think this is the kind of thing that would force 'Undecided' to vote in a certain column. And if the neo-con element has the capacity for understanding, this is when they would demonstrate it.

And then we wonder why the world doesn't trust us?

"The Economy Plan goes boldly where no invasion plan has gone before: the complete rewrite, it says, of a conquered state's "policies, laws and regulations."

"Here's what you'll find in the Plan: A highly detailed program, begun years before the tanks rolled, for imposing a new regime of low taxes on big business, and quick sales of Iraq's banks and bridges —in fact, "ALL state enterprises" —to foreign operators.

"There's more in the Plan, part of which became public when the State Department hired consulting firm to track the progress of the Iraq makeover. Example: This is likely history's first military assault plan appended to a program for toughening the target nation's copyright laws.And when it comes to oil, the Plan leaves nothing to chance —or to the Iraqis. Beginning on page 73, the secret drafters emphasized that Iraq would have to "privatize" (i.e., sell off) its "oil and supporting industries." The Plan makes it clear that —even if we didn't go in for the oil —we certainly won't leave without it.
