73. Yes, the language is deliberate
For the first time in a long time I watched just a brief--less than 2 minutes--of the network evening news last night. In that short time I heard a bold faced lie--the announcement that Britian's election was focused, like the US election, on the Iraq war. Then I watched the blown-up clown lips of the newswoman take on this mock tragedy, as she reported about those terrorist insurgents, and I said, "watch, they are going to now show us a PR visual cue of a US soldier sheltering an Iraqi child" Sure enough. Meanwhile every case of torture and every other shameful action, like US cops beating up Afro-Americans, is quietly pushed out of view.

There is no accountability because both sides are complicit--so yeah, they are Bush enablers. Without question, and it is a disgrace.
