And I suppose some of us see a direct relationship between Bush's WOT/Phony Wars based on lies in the ME, and our economic situation.
But for most on the Left, like Greenwald, the destruction of civil right here and abroad, the War Crimes committed by the Bush administration, were a little bit more important than anything else. Something about the value of human life over profits.
Greenwald is way to the left of you, by your own admission then. And if you don't like Greenwald, maybe it's best you don't read Scahill or Klein or any of the other progressive writers anymore. It's hard to tell the difference most of the time since all write about ISSUES, the same issues they always wrote about, which according to your logic makes all of them Conservative Libertarians. Which is what I thought.
As we have seen on DU, all of them have been criticized along with anyone else who remains committed to the same principles they held under Bush. Which is why so many democrats have signed off online forums and have taken their activities to real life activism, leaving the field to those whose views are more to the right. It's interesting to watch, and maybe a good thing, since not much is going to be accomplished with the kind of commentary that now takes place on political blogs.
