5. We can't turn our heads and pretend that we don't see
Cheney told us straight up after Sept. 11th that he was going over to the "dark side," that the ends justified the means. How many times have we been told that the terra, terra, terra justifies all of this? Every bit. From invading a sovereign nation under false pretexts to destroying any and all opposition to this tyranny?

All the eff-ups, the torture and the spying and then the cover ups, every scrap of it justified by this new allegiance to bush and his cronies and their ethic of whateverittakes. Along the way these boys have committed quite a few crimes, and now they are going to do whateverittakes to stop justice.

The military declared our "homeland" a war theater. They spy on us. The military spies on us. Incredible. They were also the ultimate source for the anthrax sent to cow our congress. (Either they lost it and they're incompetent or the used it and they're corrupt.) It's mindboggling how these guys have defined threats to the Homeland. (Fer instance the Outlaws - a group of gay, out of the closet law students - their name was threatening. Quakers and war protesters, etc.) There are also numerous cases of our media coverage turning out to by psy-ops propaganda. (Jessie Lynch, Saddam's statue toppling, Pat Tillman, for example.) War. Being waged. Against us. The silence is downright creepy. We need to stand up for these people who are willing to stand up for our country.
