Hm... to a certain extent, this is interesting, but academic... A link not
too far away from ones posted here(1), analysing Bush compared to Churchill
talked about Churchills brutal honesty, but then discussed how Churchill did
not feel the British were ready for the news of the sunken ship in June 1940
that lost 5000 lives (memory hazy here). Perhaps this plane WAS shot down
and it's being kept quiet.
But I say "so what?"
Ed Jones asked me if I would give a blank check to any actions by the
Prez... I said I would not, but in this case, given the breakneck speed that
things happened and the difficulty in gathering information, making
decisions, etc. I am NOT going to second guess this. If they shot it down
because they thought they had to, so be it. I will come down hard on anyone
that points fingers about it.
Note carefully, LW that I am not saying that you are. In fact I appreciate
your posting the link. I'm just saying I am not sure that any profitable ore
lies in that particular mineshaft, should we choose to start digging there.
1 - but one which I don't recall, my travels have taken me () so many places
on the net in the last week in search of answers... or even better
questions. Maybe it was Salon?
2 - and I suspect many others as well have been traveling similarly. We
*all* are searching how to make sense of it. And let me say that in this
time I especially appreciate, more than usual, people who post links or give
snippets of things that maybe shed different light on things than
"conventional thinking" even if I don't agree with them. Wide input is
needed. I am heartened by polls showing that people in the US and
everywhere, for the most part, *are* in fact thinking deeply about this and
about what to do and don't support blind revenge.
