Think of the dangers of a Free Press that is unrestrained by truth. (Maybe that's you sir.)

You are comparing a Rogue Nation that spied on its own citizens. It did secret searches that it used to convict its own citizens. It could even snatch its citizens off the street and imprison them in a gulag somewhere out of the country with out rights guaranteed by our Constitution. You are comparing a Rogue Nation that intimidated other nations in the world and even used preemptive war against some of them.

Geez, when I just read what I wrote I realized its a good description of the Bush Administration… They too were unrestrained by the truth, and they too did all the things described that we Americans like to think are wrong. At least when done by another nation…
