Idiotic

How many times have we heard that the cover up ends up being the downfall of public officials?

The new photos from Abu Ghraib should have been released when the original story came out. Trying to hide these images (in case you've forgotten the argument was that we would be violating prisoners' Geneva Conventions if we showed photos of us violating their Geneva Conventions) and hoping they wouldn't come out was beyond stupid. PS - the argument now is that releasing these images will inflame the hatred for us.

I don't recommend anyone view the pictures. I just finished crying after seeing them at Salon.com. It breaks my heart that we could have done this.

This administration continues to pile up the cover ups.

Dick Cheney shooting someone. As Al Frankin said, if the VP was so concerned for his friend that he couldn't go to the press why couldn't he go to the hospital with his friend? Why would he instead go back to the ranch house and have dinner and cocktails? Doesn't make a lot of sense no matter what Katie O'Biern says. I'm so overwrought I go to the hospital. I don't fix myself a cocktail and sit down to dinner.

The reason the press has jumped all over this story is because this administration has shrouded itself in secrecy. The frustration over Scotty never answering questions from Jeff Gannon, to Katrina (let's not play the blame game), to warrentless wiretapping,and everything else in between has built to critical mass.

We have every right to be angry.

The Bush administration is destroying our country.
