Citing Destruction of Torture Tapes, ACLU Asks Court to Hold CIA in Contempt (12/12/2007)
THIS IS THE BEST CHANCE WE HAVE OF HOLDING THE BUSHIES ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE TAPES, TORTURE AND/OR DESTRUCTION OR EVIDENCE

The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So I stood at the White house briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.
There was one problem. It was not true.
I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice President, the President's chief of staff, and the President himself.
This is a place for information that is unavailable through the unitary, corporate, and owned by 2 people U.S. media
One of the purposes of this blog is to share with you the news I obtain by spending hours on the internet reading information, based on credible sources, that is unavailable to the average U.S. citizen as the average U.S. citizen depends on television news, filtered by the private, corporately owned, monopoly of U.S. media. By the way, did you know that the FCC is rushing to push through a rule that will nail the coffin on any diversity, local coverage, etc. by the U.S media? Yes, the FCC chairman hopes to pass a rule that will allow the one, two, or three media giants (Rupert Murdoch being one) to own all the newspapers AND radio stations AND tv stations. To efficiently learn about media consolidation right now go to Bill Moyers Journal. Try to also download via podcast or otherwise, the May 2007 Bill Moyers Journal coverage of media consolidation. Remember, democracy depends on a truly informed citizenry!!!
