5. Thanks, I had forgotten about it.
But it comes on at 10 here and, unfortunately, I will probably be too whacked to remember it.

I gotta slow down, one of these days.

Changing channel to the Reaper, a dork who rounds up evil souls escaped from hell. In fact, I've been switching back and forth from that sunny series to Frontline.

22. Addington wanted the Geneva Conventions to NOT apply to the citizens of Iraq.
Goldsmith was the first person that stood up to them and said, NO. They had to back down.

I have not heard of this occuring before.

54. One has to wonder about that.
Will the military go along though. I doubt it after the way they've been treated and Bush isn't the charismatic leader needed to pull it off . Whoa where's my tinfoil hat?

56. I'm trying to remain optimistic
but my husband is in full-on tinfoil mode. He's anticipating an attack on Iran, long about October or so, and a suspension of the elections as a consequence. It doesn't seem too farfetched, given what we now know about how these people operate. Somebody has to stop them.

57. Why is pre-9/11 off limits?
From what I gather, all the journalists on the program believe the WoT was justified but they object to the manner in which it has been carried out.

The WH line is that extremism in the defense of US lives is no vice. They win this argument because people will condone overreaching if they think it was done in good faith.

Where is the questioning of the WoT itself? The questioning of al Qaeda and 9/11? Are these investigative journalists afraid of being labeled 'conspiracy theorists' or 'unpatriotic?'

The Bush WH did nothing in the lead up to 9/11. That isn't incompetence, it's dereliction of duty.

59. I was disappointed in Frontline's documentary for that reason,
I wonder if Lynne Cheney's criticism had an effect, or whether they planned the program that way from the beginning.

I read the illegal wiretapping began soon after Cheney/Bush took office pre-911 but that was never mentioned.
