Wow. I was appalled. From Wapo:
Twenty-eight percent of the public is aware that nearly 4,000 U.S. personnel have died in Iraq over the past five years, while nearly half thinks the death tally is 3,000 or fewer and 23 percent think it is higher, according to an opinion survey released yesterday.

The fact that the bulk of the American public’s military assessments are filtered through the prism of the powers that be…a la the Bush administrati on…can be rather misleading and may well engender a false sense of security.

Whatever you want to call them ? Chickenhawks , Keyboard Warriors, the Chairborne Division ? this species has been with us for a long time.
This article by Glenn Greenwald offers a glimpse into that pitiful mindset. There’s nothing new about today?s armchair warrior who bravely fights Evil and Terror from behind his computer console. In […]
