Interesting article on Salon today about Senator Grahams new book, Intelligence Matters. It sounds as though the many pages blacked out of the 9/11 investigations may have contained evidence of Saudi government funding of at least 2 of the terrorists on 9/11. Investigations were also blocked to further dig into those questions. Read the article for all the details, or better yet go buy the book.

I’m still suprised this hasn’t been picked up by more news agencies. This coverup sounds like the biggest scandal I can remember in my lifetime. It sure trumps a stained dress – but apparently those sexually repressed Republicans like witch-hunts only when they aren’t digging for real issues (or rather, when they wouldn’t be targetted at a Republican).

But this is as much the fault of most Democrats, who are too scared to make this into an issue. They think any questioning surrounding 9/11 will make them seem “unpatriotic” which is one of the worst acts of propaghanda ever. The Republicans are taking advantage of peoples real desire for patriotism but perverting it for their own ends. Labelling people as unpatriotic for questioning the government is the worst possible thing to happen to Democracy. And these are the people who feel the need to spread their version of Democracy to the rest of the world? No thanks. Fix yours first.
