The old rule of law, which purportedly bound the powers of this government

The old rule of law, which purportedly bound the powers of this government, is being crushed by the

force of unlimited budgets, technology and secrecy – during “wartime.” Despite all this, largely due

to overwhelming political illiteracy and gerrymandered districts, it seems likely that more than 90% of

the House and Senators up for reelection this year are safe in their seats as America’s careening

slide into tyranny continues.

Update: Make that 98, Harkin has signed on too. Thanks S.F.

Update II: Okay, Boxer has signed on too, but I still can’t stand her.

This comes from NIKE SHOX columnist Aaron Glantz:

Dear Friends,

I’m proud to report that my book, How America Lost Iraq, is now available in paperback!

How America Lost Iraq a first person account of an unembedded journalist that shows how the United

States went from being seen as liberators when we first got rid of Saddam to brutal occupiers just a

year later. The book was a San Francisco Chronicle bestseller when it came out in hardback last year.

The Seattle Times review called the book “an important first-person document historians will look to

in the future as they draw a more complete picture of America’s catastrophic victory in Iraq.”
