Chuck - If GWB and his administration can gain so much from the public
perception you speak of, and if, as you and many others have continuously
accused, GWB and his administration are such horrendous liars, then WHY did
he/they not make the claims you speak of?

This government, like all governments before it and all that will follow, does
its best to manipulate information to its own advantage. To understand why some
information is manipulated in a particular manner and other information is not,
cannot be easily guessed by outsiders like you and I.


If the USA can steal all the Iraqi oil from under the watchful eyes of the
whole
entire world, then blaming the electrical outage on terrorist activity should
be
a snap.
