But "other sources" can be slanted toward one or the other view and at the same time, be no more truthful: if a "greens" or "right" or "left" source, or "Conservative" or "liberal" source, the news will be filtered by the politics involved. What distresses me most is normally straightforward American news sources, including Television, simply have swallowed the administration's press releases whole, parroting the administration viewpoint, saying what the administration wants said. Bush has taken this opportunity to subvert some freedoms and subsume others. A "Homeland Security" agency sounds suspiciously like "Fatherland Securitat" to many, including myself. The combining of the CIA/FBI ought to scare the hell out of everybody, especially since no one will be watching either if them, not even Congress, our so-called elected overseers. That massive, invasive superspy agency will do mischief and the press, in bed with Bush, Cheney, Powell and Rice, will stand by muted by their own near treasonous complicity. This superagency will do what the popular attitude says they can: make America "SAFE" (at any cost), including taking away individual freedoms in the interest of "national security." Having set up this all pervasive "Securitat," Bush has ignored Congress anyway. Meanwhile our so-called "free press" stands by, hamstrung. **We're just damn lucky we have a dividied Congress or Bush and his cronies would have a real field day.
