Why are our leaders lying to us? Is it the "You can't handle the truth!" syndrone of Jack Nicholson's character—Col. Nathan R. Jessep—in A Few Good Men?
What IS it?
There is something fundamentally going wrong in a democracy when the leaders don't trust the people with the truth!
I mean, the list is getting pretty long of the outright fabrications and obfuscations by Bushes, Cheneys, Rices, Rumsfelds, Colin Powells, Chertoffs, ... Tom Friedmans ...(and those are only MY pet peevers!)
And what about this deal where the Pentagon is opening a criminal investigation into Pat Tillman's death? See http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060305/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/army_tillman_investigation
How bad can it get before we, the people, take our government back by electing new leaders?
Throw the bums out!
