Now that the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has released its report calling "for the creation of an independent commission to fully investigate what the U.S. intelligence community knew, or believed it knew, about Iraq's WMD programme from 1991 to 2003, and whether its analyses were tainted by foreign intelligence agencies or political pressure," as Jim Lobe writes, it is time for a slow grill of the entire neocon philosophy.

Fat chance in hell.

In fact, if anything, members of Congress who have suddenly mustered up the spine to go after the Bush war criminals for their pathological lies about Iraq's non-existent WMD may be persecuted for treason. "The neocon cabal is beginning to make the case for imprisoning -- or possibly executing -- members of Congress who oppose the war in Iraq," writes Thomas J. DiLorenzo. "Naturally, the totalitarian/neocon case for imprisoning or executing the Bush administration's political opponents is based on precedents established by Abraham Lincoln." DiLorenzo cites an article by J. Michael Waller appearing in Insight magazine, "an appendage of the Washington Times, the voice of the Washington, D.C. neocon establishment" (and also owned by the convicted felon and self-proclaimed Messiah Sun Myung Moon).

The Democrats, according to Waller, are "playing with treason to destroy the nation's wartime Republican president." Never mind that this (undeclared) "wartime" president is a liar of such magnitude that the libidinous Clinton looks like a piker by way of comparison (after all, Clinton's stain and the lie he told about it didn't kill anybody, not that we know about anyway). Waller mentions Lincoln's suspension of the Bill of Rights and throwing politicians and newspaper editors in military brigs for disagreeing with him about the Civil War. "While none have suggested such extreme measures in the midst of the war on terrorism, Lincoln's approach illustrates the deadly seriousness of political responsibility in wartime and draws a fine line between legitimate political dissent and aiding the enemy," Waller explains.
