Dear Readers, Virginia libertarian Karen Kwiatkowski wrote recently about Donald Rumsfeld's ongoing book tour:
"As Rumsfeld hawks his book, the Bush III administration under Obama is bringing new charges against Iraq war whistleblower Bradley Manning. The news is abuzz that Manning, for aiding the "enemy" by leaking information to the media, may in fact receive the death penalty someday, if he ever gets a trial, and hes not psychologically or physically destroyed by his incarceration. Yet, if I am not mistaken, leaking classified intelligence, including raw unsubstantiated information to the media, and having that material republished by the New York Times and the Washington Post in order to make a difference in public opinion was precisely what Rumsfelds Office of Special Plans, and Rumsfelds close friend Dick Cheney, were doing, for months and years in advance of the invasion of Iraq. ... In Rumsfeldia, its OK to lie to make wars you, your children and grandchildren will never fight, but its not OK to tell the truth to stop a war based on lies that you are actually fighting." http://www.lewrockwell.com/kwiatkowski/kwiatkowski263.html Take a few minutes to check out Karen's informative article. -- Marc P.S.
