This is ruining America?
Profanity??? Is this news? No one was threatened. Yes, this person was crude but, mad people get to express themselves. Isn't that what we want in from Columbus to Kabul?
My take on the Abu Ghraib photos- is for full disclosure. Using the Nazi example: if the world had seen images of the full atrocity that the Nazis commited earlier- then the effort to stop them likely would have started soon. Support the troops- but tell the truth. Also ask did the individual troops who did this pack dogs and hoods in their duffels? Who let this happen from all levels?
As for Bennett any public figure who speaks without being careful is ripe for the picking. This applies to the right and left- I have the same limited sympathy for the anyone who has speak on the record all the time. This is like picking on W for mispronouncing a word in a speech. His critics criticize the honest missteps (nucular) and supporters excuse real mistakes (yellowcake).
Meanwhile, Republicans are running way ahead of schedule on their share of country ruining. Why what's this I see--Dick Cheney a target in the Plame investigation?!?
Leaking the identity of an undercover CIA agent during a time of war--tsk, tsk, Mr. Vice President.
Merril Lynch reminds people how the Right is Ruining America...
The Merrill Lynch research department yesterday presented clients with a list titled "Seven Constraints Facing the Consumer:"
1) Personal "savings rate at -0.7%;"
2) "Debt/income ratio at a record 124% (was 117% a year ago);"
3) "Housing affordability at a 14-year low; 16-year low for first-time buyers;"
4) "Fed tightening... - households have $2.3 trillion of short-term debt that will get dinged by the relentless rise in short-term rates;"
5) "Higher energy prices;"
6) "Lagging wages: average hourly earnings" are growing at the "weakest pace" since December 1990; and,
7) "Regulatory credit changes: Fed letters of guidance (mortgages), tightened bankruptcy protection laws (Chapters 7, 13), higher minimum credit balance payments."
