A Nation of Suspects

But suspected of what?

Ties with Osama bin Laden, whom Bush seems to have lost interest in long ago?

Being in cahoots with 'whats-his-name' in Iraq, who no one is even sure exists?

What are we all supected of, exactly?

We want an answer to that, even though we are pretty sure we already know the answer.....

We are supected of sedition, treason and God only knows what all else, because we disagree with the Bushites; because we see the war for what it is and we will not be a party to war crimes and the destruction of democracy in our country.

What we are supected of, is not the same thing as being disloyal to a president, any president.

Patriotism is keeping faith with our country, our Constitution and our fellow citizens; not with any president, especially one who violates the law anytime he pleases in the name of national security, which has been used in the past as an excuse and a cover-up for illegal acts against the people of this country.

A Nation of Suspects:

"In an interview that never actually ran on any NBC affiliate and which the network quickly scrubbed from its Web site, Mitchell asked Risen if he knew anything about reporters being swept up in the NSA's domestic surveillance operation. He said he didn't know.

She pressed harder, asking pointedly if he had any information showing that CNN's Christiane Amanpour had been eavesdropped upon by the Feds. Risen again claimed ignorance. But the questions, and the fact that NBC pulled the transcript from their Web site, ignited a small storm of controversy in the blogosphere that ended up fading from public view almost as fast as it had erupted.

A few days later, an unnamed 'senior U.S. intelligence official' would tell CNN that the 'National Security Agency did not target CNN's chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour or any other CNN journalist for surveillance. and that seemed to be good enough for the rest of the mainstream media.
