On to Martial Law....

The recent resignation of Mr. Goss as head of the CIA has again created yet another vacancy in the intelligence community at home. One wonders why so many jobs under this administration seem to "turn over" on a regular basis. Does anyone at home see this as a warning signal? I do. Why did we get rid of General Powell again? Oh yeah, he did a bit of his own thinking. Albeit a bit too late to matter, but he did violate the group think. OK, I know the story is that he retired or stepped down, but I believe this is the "truth" in the current American sense only. What build of press secretary software are we on? 4.1? As so eloquently put at this year's White House Press Club dinner (by the evening's unreported keynote speaker), it's a tough job to be proficient and effective at "saying nothing".

I see another red light blinking on the dashboard: GWB's suggestions to put a military man in the role of CIA chief. This means potentially that all the major intel agencies in America would be headed by military personnel. He will be in a position to implement Martial Law with a couple phone calls, given the right "crisis", real or imaginary...prevented or permitted. We must be vigilant in our civic duties and speak out against these kinds of maneuvers. Slowly and carefully, this administration is still seeking the dissenters, weeding them out, and replacing them with indebted friends and allies. Now more than ever, it appears that men who will follow orders are the stock of choice. It will be even harder to find the truth as he continues to put loyalists (and legislation) in key positions to plug the leaks. What is perhaps more frightening is that as the powers of the executive branch increase, they also seem to be directed more and more at the citizens themselves, rather than at the "evil" of whom he so oft speaks. Our only hope of bringing justice to this administration is continuing to persist in documenting these irregularities, so that history isn't written only by the main stream sternographers/journalists.

Beware, it's getting deeper and deeper every day. Here's a great piece you all should read:
