Don't you think it's interesting that in the midst of a disastrous war, an election year, and ever more revelations about how dissent from the current administration can cost you your job, CNN.com's major story from the past couple of days has been all about Sandy Berger and his memos.

Not to excuse anything he may have done, of course, but when you've tried to avoid speaking to the families of 9/11 victims and also tried to keep the 9/11 commission from taking the time it needs, your sudden obsession with the absolute propriety in the goings-on is suspect to say the least.

I am confused as to how this is of concern when this has always been the way the powerful stay in charge; misdirection and accusation.
Honestly, since when has government/aristocracy anywhere in the world been different?
The first step to be able to deal with a problem is to realize the reality of it; the tactics they are using come straight of the "The Discourses" of Machiavelli. I, as a human being, would expect nothing less of the aristocracy.

Point taken; I'm just bugged by the press' eagerness to cooperate...

Ah, but that just points to how the press has been co-opted, neh?
I will bet you money that if Kerry wins and he starts pumping money towards Fox, the press will make him look like an angel.
The press lost integrity long ago. Their paychecks are their primary concern. A lot of money can be made spewing propaganda for the current emperor...
