Duct Tape Blues

I see glee on the faces of retired military experts on the news channel, as they talk about the devastating power of the weapons we are employing. We really like our toys of destruction. I hope this war is over quickly, but when it is, we may not know about it right away. So far the Vietnam war was the only war that was aptly televised. The Government quickly clamped down on them after that little escapade. Bush has been especially controlling of the media as soon as he took office. He doesn't let anything out, not even to Congress when he is supposed to. That is why he does not take questions from the press corp. The press corp has been successfully muzzled. I guess I'll wait for the movie to come out. Lyndon Johnson curtailed information. He started a war on a lie too. The public would not have known anything about what really happened to start Vietnam, if it was not for a whistle-blower. Thank god for Daniel Ellsworth, a true patriot that risked everything to get the truth out. Maybe some day the truth will come out about this war as well. Bush learned a thing or two from old Moscow on handling information. Hitler had Goebels manage his propaganda, but he didn't have an Ari Flesher on TV spinning the truth in front a TV monitor. So far Bush has suspended Habeus Corpus, the FBI can now tap phones, see what internet sites you call up, check your e-mail, monitor anyone at anytime with no restrictions no checks and balances. The FBI can monitor the books you buy and the books you check out of libraries. They can hold you without access to lawyers and have you deported with no one being the wiser. They can send you somewhere to have you interrogated for months on end. Just how far are we from a true dictatorship led by this Zeolot?
