Wasn’t it one of those Bush senior aides who said: ”We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

Study we will, with power of subpoena I hope.

The Pentagon has been hand in hand with the nonsense promulgated by the White House. I am still amazed that the media accepted the restrictions placed on them concerning pictures of the coffins of the deceased soldiers that gave their lives. This attitude that we can change any reality and make it a different reality is for the movies, not for journalism. I guess somebody forgot to tell the Pentagon photo service. I would like to alter some pictures if they are so anxious to change reality. Why don’t we alter the photos from the two separate times Bush was sworn in and put Al Gore’s face in the photos and maybe we can go back in time and wipe out the reality of torture and illegal spying. I guy can dream, can’t he?
