I started the old site a year ago today with a link to this Common Dreams column from E.L. Doctorow, and if anything, Doctorow’s words are truer today than when he originally wrote them.
By the way, speaking of Dubya (as we usually are), I realize that he has no clue about the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which bans our military from participating in police-type activity on our soil (passed in response to that little dustup that happened a few years prior to that called THE CIVIL WAR), but it would only be a short step from sending in troops to legitimately aid in cleanup (which is wasting them as resources as far as I’m concerned) to using them to drive out “undesirables” while Halliburton starts erecting pleasure palaces all over the new New Orleans for “the right people.” I realize Dubya is also too stoo-pid to realize that, if God forbid a revolt begins in this country, that is how it will start.
(Also, The Bulldog Manifesto has a lot more detail on the Posse Comitatus Act today.)
