Re: Holding Power Accountable
Why are we even surprised by now? It's like 9/11 redux; the Bush administration has shown that it likes to praise incompetence and call it their "best." Maybe it is ... for them, but I think Bush needs to be criticized just as much for the guitar-playing as for the "My Pet Goat" debacle.
Incidentally, I have to wonder if the reason "our" government was so slow to act is that they couldn't score a quick PR coup by blaming it on "America's enemies." Does anyone remember, did the conservatives ever claim, as they're doing for Katrina, that the 9/11 hijackers were motivated by God to punish America for its "godlessness"? Or would that have come too close to agreeing/sympathizing with/justifying terrorists?
