Some Observations About the Current State of the Union

1. A Volunteer for John Kerry found a flier at the Bush-Cheney headquarters that plugs “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.” Of course the Bush-Cheney campaign is connected to this obvious attempt to smear Kerry! It’s just one more of Carl Rove’s stratagems. That is, if you tell a lie often enough you can convince the people it’s true.



2. Condoleezza Rice advises us to be more patient with all the little idiosyncratic turns of the war in Iraq. However, we shouldn’t be there in the first place.



3. University of Minnesota professor Steven Milles accuses doctors, nurses, and medics of participating in the prisoner torture at Abu Ghraib. His study sites specific instances of falsification of death certificates to hide homicides, covered up evidence of beatings, and the revival of a prisoner for more torture. Shame on them! Shame on us all for allowing such evil to take place! May God forgive us.
