Speaking Of Abuse of the Media
It seems that the American administration just doesn't get it. The fact that control of the media is anything but a democratic process. Many people have been complaining about this for years to no avail. The feds continue to force media compliance and failing that they just go ahead and buy their allegiance.
If that's not enough, Bush continues to argue the moral correctness of using torture to get information from terrorists. He doesn't seem to understand that the best defense against terrorism is to be viewed as an objective, moral, decent, and honest democracy with the fundamental desire to help those in need. Most Americans feel this way, they just don't recognize that their government is lying to them and everyone else. Most unfortunately, the rest of the world does.
