[...] It’s not all that often that I’m in agreement with the guy who writes: “It’s not all that often that I’m in agreement with former President Jimmy Carter on controversial issues of public policy. I’m with him though, that “We Need Fewer Secrets.” I am with him on what he is with. But not this guy. Quite obviously secrecy makes us sick and some sicker than others. [...]

Who knew a discussion of secrecy could get so dark so quickly? Can I be like chairman of the committee to which the govt. hands secrets over?

If Bush stated he liked eating babies then by the next day they would all have their favourite recipes for BBQ Baby posted and be swearing they had always enjoyed ingesting infants. Tom Tomorrow had a cartoon along those lines. "Satan is widely misunderstood!" "He sure is! All hail Satan!"

Christopher,

What's your favourite recipe for human baby flesh?

The two questions are equivalent, since neither can be taken seriously.

But thanks for playing "Strawman" with us tonight. I knew you would :-)

James, sorry, but why do you hate America? Please do not say ANYTHING against our beloved, our precious, or we will have to deal with you too. Maybe publish your address, phone number, how about where your kids go to school...

Careful dude, we're watching.

James! YOU hate America too?

No, seriously, the very fact that you can come under attack (comment above) for stating such a self-evident truth shows that the militant-right side of the fence is where the animals with BSE go to graze.

James,

Maybe you, Jimminy Carter, and the NYT can form a committee, and the govt. can turn over all classified info to it. The committee can then decide what should be kept secret and what should not be. Would that meet with your wishes?

Oh wait...but you, Jimminy or the NYT aren't the people's elected representatives, are you? Darn, I guess that disqualifies you.
