WHITE HOUSE URGED NO PERMIT TO MARCH
FEBRUARY 18. The Post-Standard (an affiliate of Syracuse.com) is reporting that the Bush administration weighed in on the denial of a march permit to the NYC anti-war rally.
Last week, the NY mayor's office told organizers of the rally they could not march on the streets. Then, a three-judge federal panel upheld the mayor.
But the Bush administration had filed a brief with the judge panel, urging it to go along with the mayor's office.
This was an obvious attempt to discourage the protests against White House moves toward war.
It was essentially a denial of 1st Amendment rights, and as such marks yet another assault on the Bill of Rights by this administration.
The 100,000-plus people who showed up to stand in one place in NYC were not deterred, but this does not change the thrust of the White House attempt.
If the people can't march, why should the soldiers be allowed to?

THE WHITE HOUSE THAT CRIED WOLF
FEBRUARY 18. Now we know the recent orange-level terror alert was a phony, because the so-called "al Qaeda operative" who warned of impending terror attacks was lying. He failel an FBI lie detector test.
Or maybe there wasn't any "operative" to begin with.
Of course, intell bureaucrats are saying there were other valid reasons for the orange alert. But who can believe them? No one.
And all those stories about stores running out of duct tape in Washington? How many people live in the area? How many rolls of duct tape were actually available to them? I'm sure a check of the figures would reveal it doesn't take that many scared people to deplate the stocks of duct tape in stores.
Which means the media stories about a panicked city were completely overblown as well.
So we have a phony terror level alert, and then we have phony stories backing up the fear. Fear plus fear equals more fear.
Crying wolf isn't going to cut it. They need to stage another terror attack to convince everyone that their version of 1984 is real.
The White House can get some very good advice from those intell types in Israel who have been funding Hamas.
Maybe a giant hologram in the sky over DC of Osama bin Laden for starters. In orange.
