"I'm looking forward to America getting to know Massachusetts and reconnecting to Lexington and Concord and the USS Constitution and Paul Revere and the great patriotism that really defines our nation." - 'Massachusetts Liberal' John Kerry.
This isn't America
George Bush's America has become a byword for deception and abuse of power, where character assassination is "standard operating procedure."
Out-nixoning Nixon:
On the terrorism front, here's one story that deserves special mention. One of the few successful post-9/11 terror prosecutions - a case in Detroit - seems to be unraveling. The government withheld information from the defense, and witnesses unfavorable to the prosecution were deported (by accident, the government says). After the former lead prosecutor complained about the Justice Department's handling of the case, he suddenly found himself facing an internal investigation - and someone leaked the fact that he was under investigation to the press.
