Eugene David<br>...The One-Minute Pundit

"I think one question out there is where is the sense of outrage? How does it get kindled or rekindled? One quick example-there are 550 people being held at Guantanamo Bay, 50 are in maximum security, 500 are not in maximum security. The government has said that none of them has intelligence value. There are two processes to determine their standing. We filed a FOIA Request. We've gotten nowhere. We've covered this, and our stories virtually have gotten no play. This is an important issue....What do we do to get people's attention?"

I'm disturbed by Dubya's secrecy obsession too -- but here's the problem, CURLEY (Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!): You once loudly belched that the news biz is run by CONSERVATIVES. What's more, CURLEY (Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!), two of your biz' great CRUSADES against government secrecy -- the Pentagon Papers and Woodstein's Watergate probe -- were politically LIBERAL. We know instinctively when you take on our government's secrecy you'll weight it down with that HEAVY IDEOLOGICAL BAGGAGE. So we can't trust you to go after government secrecy because it's bad, we can only assume you go after it because it's CONSERVATIVE. THAT'S the pretty pickle your lockstep ideological conformity has put us in, STOOGE.

P. S. I would have linked to my own post but I've discovered KADIDDLEBLOG'S PERFORMED ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT TO ITS SERVICE -- YOU CAN'T ACCESS OLD POSTS ON "EDIT POSTS."
