And I will get to that in a minute. But they/he were speaking of Seymour Hersh, the man who exposed the My Lai massacre in Vietnam (Pulitzer Prize and maybe, ultimately, an end to the Nixon/Kissinger carnage), a Toro Bora story that is coming true before our very eyes in the words of Bu$h himself, and the "outing" of the Abu Ghraib tortures (and did you see the old footage of German Shepard attack dogs against the blacks in B'Ham and JFK's response on this - MLK's Day - and did that evoke any emotion vis-a-vis our current torture policies? .. Have they really changed?). We are an incredibly brutal nation. We really are. The little man up the mast of this ship of fools crows, daily, as proud as a cock at dawn, of "loving freedom," He is as incapable as the sycophants and power-drunks in his boat to ever know what either Love or Freedom are.

Back to Gen. Wayne Downing, who tonight said that Seymour Hersh has (and I paraphrase) come out with some "amazing things" in the last "twenty years" or so. Great. A general officer in the US Army who, like Colin Powell in avoiding My-Lai 4, has his head in the sand over: 1. the atrocity, and; 2. the cover-up.
