On the General Casey issue:
I can't place anymore importance on Gen. Casey's non-testimony than I can for all other officers in the military that follow this tyrants orders. We need to have a full and complete revolt of our officers just waiting outside congress to testify.
At this point the State Dept. refusal to cooperate, the executive Dept. continual overstepping of their powers, and just the whole mess with Blackwater not having to answer questions before Congress makes a whole sham of this country and it's so called checks and balances.
At this point this administration has so many people scared for their lives. It's not a joke. Speak out, and look what happens, career completely taken away. Or worse look at Pat Tillman, Omar Mora and Travis Grey. Character assisination in public has become the norm.
Except if your a hypocritcal republi-con.
SoS - Thanks! I have linked LEFT is RIGHT to The Hankster...
