They're All Bastards
Read this article, or even a few pages of it and the assume that the article is only say one-third accurate.
Given my background, gross negligence comes to mind to describe the media. Malicious disregard for the the truth fits the "analysts." The government, well whatever disdain you had for the Bush administration and the Pentagon, quadrupole it. Here it is:

Bastards doesn't quite do my opinion justice.

I second that!
I get so damned tired of the so called "analyists". I don't think they know any more than we do or they have their agendas to push, whether they are right or wrong.
I remember my 98-year-old grandmother saying, "George Bush! What a horrible little man!"
That was the strongest language I had ever heard her use. I better not show her that article. ;)
Is there any wonder why people get cynical and apathetic about the government?
It's all about money and power, and it has always has been.
I did not realize, however, the depth of the relationship between our government and those who were supposedly "reporting" independently.
We will never see the TV news talking about this issue. But we can talk about it and tell our friends.
It's creepy to see our own government being this manipulative. The word "democracy" somehow doesn't seem to fit their modus operandi.
I'll read it but I don't need any help quadrupling my already to the tenth power level of disdain.
Interesting. I am an analyst - go figure. There are things that have happened about which I have always wondered... like how did they not think that Iraq would end up as it did given what we knew then... those kinds of things. I would love to see the analysis that provided the foundation for the decisions that were made as all the analysts I knew at the time could have predicted (and did predict) the situation in which we currently find ourselves.
Not all of us are bad apples, you know.
Exception, I think "going in" those analysts that didn't support the desire to invade were ignored. "They're All Bastards" is literary license. There's you and those two people over there, yeah them, that aren't.
