Written by BuzzFlashA BUZZFLASH INTERVIEW
I've seen no indication that the Democratic leadership in Congress, or the Republican leaders, or the candidates, envision the Americans being out of those bases any time in their lifetime or our children's lifetime. And that means that Americans will be killing Iraqis and dying, and killing Iraqi civilians -- committing atrocities, among other things -- as long as they're there. And that, as I say, is another half-century or more. -- Daniel Ellsberg, Vietnam Veteran, Pentagon Papers Leaker, Activist, and Author
Bob Drogin: The Con Men and the Con Man -- How the Bush Administration Threw Us a "Curveball" on Iraq

John Dean Challenges America: Fix This Broken Government
Written by BuzzFlashA BUZZFLASH INTERVIEW
It's quite a stunning explanation of how they feel the presidency should run. For example, they think that when Reagan left office with very high approval ratings, it was like dying rich. They think the president should be down to single digits if he's doing things right, because he's such an authoritarian figure, he's not going to be terribly popular. Well, Bush looks like he's trying to fulfill that image for them.

At times there would be students who didn't want to talk to me. It was because they just didn't want to risk messing up their resumes. ... they didn't want to say things that might come back to haunt them politically. At nineteen, they are already thinking about their future political career.

Written by BuzzFlashA BUZZFLASH INTERVIEW
We're not just computing brains. We're also sensory and emotional creatures. When we come to media, we're along for the ride, and the quality of the ride is not just a function of its truth value, it's also a function of its emotional and sensational value.
