Stuff You Should Read Today
The mixed story of the Iraqi election.The American media's lockstep cheerleading.
Deja vu, part one.
Deja vu, part two.
And this from Charles Pierce (scroll down in that last link):
You do not own their courage.
The people who stood in line Sunday did not stand in line to make Americans feel good about themselves.
You do not own their courage.
They did not stand in line to justify lies about Saddam and al-Qaeda...They did not stand in line to justify lies about weapons of mass destruction, or to justify the artful dodginess of Ahmad Chalabi...You do not own their courage.
They did not stand in line in order to justify the dereliction of a kept press. They did not stand in line to make right the wrongs born out of laziness, cowardice, and the easy acceptance of casual lying...They did not stand in line to justify a thousand mistakes that have led to more than a thousand American bodies...You do not own their courage.
We all should remember that.
