Saw the article in the Washington Post today, saw it again in the New York Times, and this frankly upsets me to no small degree. I have to say that the Bush Administration has just lost all credibility with this one - going as far as to plant military analysts in in order to shine a good light on what is clearly a war that went wrong long, long ago? Yeah, good luck with that one fellows, how much are these analysts being paid again?
This situation along with the situation at Guantanamo Bay outline the hypocrisy of the Bush Administration's policies that have made the United States lose its credibility in the international world - after all, how can we justify fighting for democracy in Iraq and uprooting hundreds of thousands of people in the process when our own democratic system seems to be so, so flawed right now? The worst part of this though, is that the international community holds us in disdain when in fact international cooperation is what we need most right now in order to effectively fight terrorism. When our President tries to bend the rules, seems like we all lose.
