Thank you. The Obama administration is concerned that the issue of torture won't go away. It's my opinion that they ain't seen nothing yet. Back in 2003, while our national Iraq-and-roll pep rally leading up to the invasion was going on, I, in one of my rare moments of prescience said (wrote in my journal, actually) that my country, led by a dry drunk, was off on a drunken binge of its own, and we were going to wake up with one hell of a hangover. We are just beginning to open our eyes and feel the pain. This is a very fine article. Thank you.

This is true because asks a question that no one seems able to answer. Permit me to solve the mystery. The conceptual agenda of our corporate media 'tsars' is not objective, not regulated non-fiction )that observes the rights of purveyor, subject and viewer alike): it is 85--90% extremist right wing, not liberal, in its philosophy. Oncve your grasp that, there is no mystery. Postmodernists want to do away with reality and set in place a preferred world view; neocons a postmodernists push statism--which means a CEO/chief executive/ leader is always to be treated as if he were divinely inspired,/inerrable, under a "whatever he does is right" theory of imperial presidency or unitary executive. They've been accused of being that way since 1972. There's your answer--an extreme right-wing bias in the U.S, poisoned unregulated media, regardless of decades of projections of their own faults onto others, and of partisan lies emitted by whining pseudo-theocratic right-wingers about "liberal influence in the press'. And unless the Republican noise machine can be stopped from swiftboating their scientific and realistic detractors--they will continue to spew smears, frauds, lis, false definitions and their own peculiar bigoted biases forever and ever.
