[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] Are they getting paid for their propaganda? I suspect that had Zaki asked for more, if he found out how much he [i]could[/i] be making, he'd be right pissed. I guess we shouldn't be too surprised that the groundwork is being laid for something similar over there. I honestly think I'd be less disturbed by Bush the younger's behavior if I felt like he was even remotely considering opposing viewpoints. Even if he rejected them afterwards and adopted the same bullheaded policies he has throughout this administration. I don't read a lot of non-fiction, but after seeing [URL=http://www.laughatliberals.com/blog/archives/2004/richard-clark-inc/]Richard Clark[/URL] speak, I got his [URL=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743260244/002-3912088-1823261?v=glance&n=283155]book[/URL]. And it scared the poop out of me. It's chilling to think that the same managerial attitude/bullshit I was dealing with when I was working as a janitor in high-school, the same indifference to the opinions of anyone who disagrees has made it to the highest office in the nation. It's one thing to disregard the voice of a precocious teen janitor, but it seems incredibly irresponsible to not listen to dissenting ideas when those ideas are coming from lettered experts with years of experience. I was appalled when [URL=http://www.lucidcafe.com/library/96apr/powell.html]Colin Powell[/URL] 'left'. Not that he was half the pain-in-the-ass the administration needed, but he did represent some modicum of debate. [/QB][/QUOTE]
