Hempfest screed: Seattle Post-Intelligencer editorial, today: "..America has tumbled into a swamp of hubris, prisoner abuse, secret courts, secret prisons, 'renditions,' warrantless wiretaps and flouting of international law...The number of American soldiers killed in Bush's military adventure in Iraq approaches the number of Americans killed on 9/11, with the man most responsible for their deaths still at large....five years later we recognize how much more we've lost since then." Two good reads: Steve Chapman, Chicago Tribune, "What Has Risen From The Rubble;" Rudy Giuliani, USA Today, "We Cannot Let Down Our Guard."
