Why Not Tell The Truth?
Posted in Politics on March 30, 2004 |
Kevin Drum wonders why the Bush Administration simply won’t admit that they made mistakes before 9/11: In retrospect, of course we wish we had paid more attention to terrorism. Everybody in the U.S. government does. After all, 3000 people died. It was a terrible misjudgment and a wakeup call for all of us. (I’m sure [...]

BUMPED FOR NEW INFORMATION This is scary: It’s a groundbreaking court decision that legal experts say will affect everyone: Police officers in Louisiana no longer need a search or arrest warrant to conduct a brief search of your home or business.

This is disgusting: U.S. officials told NBC News that the full record of Clarke’s testimony two years ago would not be declassified. They said that at the request of the White House, however, the CIA was going through the transcript to see what could be declassified, with an eye toward pointing out contradictions. That is [...]

This is amazingly tone deaf, and highlights the complete disconnect that are well paid punditry seems to exhibit far too often: Twenty years before, Prescott notes, it was the Europeans who worked more. Data gathered for 1970 to 1974 show that the French and the Germans each worked an average of 5 percent more than [...]
