Forget about Iraq, forget about Lebanon, forget about Lamont, forget about Bush's war crimes... Let's get back to being afraid...

forget about detainee torture, forget about guantanamo, forget about iran, forget about north korea, forget about the free-fall in the housing market, forget about the minimum wage increase, forget about scooter libby and valerie plame, forget about shredding the u.s. constitution... the headlines are once again filled with fear, and the media has swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker... and, oh, btw, as one anonymous dhs official said yesterday, "this is the real deal..." (as opposed to all those others...?)

Officials Cite Scale and Sophistication of Plane Plot

you simply can't tell me that they didn't have this one up their sleeve... good lord, i'm sorry to be so cynical and, god forbid that any plane would have been blown to smithereens over the atlantic (particularly one that i was on), but this is all so fucking convenient... it's way past the possibility of coincidence... i just don't believe anything i'm told any more...
