All we have is fear itself

Firedoglake exposes the Bush administration's use of fear to control poll numbers and keep the populace cowed and compliant. The post links to Kung Fu Monkey's article which is hilarious and worth reading. Juan Cole shows that there were leads to Pakistan and the British have been watching the group since 2005 and only just now told the White House. (If you remember, Bush forced their hand a few years ago by exposing their covert operations when he blabbed to the press.)

What ever happened to the focused gaze, the rolling up of sleeves, the we-can-do-it attitude of WWII? All Bush has told us to do in this eternal War On Terror is go shopping.
