More to Come...Hopefully not all bad...

Just back from all the travels, grading, and the busy busy...plus the upcoming big show.

Soon to come...9/11, Dogmatic Purity, and False Populism; 9/11 and collective memory; and a public lecture on 9/11, Propaganda, and the Culture of Fear here.

Meahwhile...Habeas Corpus, R.I.P. So sad. And don't forget...Torture is wrong. America shrugs...and then this...

What of charges of possible genocide? The Bush administration denied accounts while offering no explanation. The media have yawned. The new Military Commission Act covered everyone's asses, just like Alberto Gonzales said it would.

Even conservative estimates are double the Bush administration figures, which don't cite any sources. No accountability. No transparancy. No democracy. October surprises galore.

It is very difficult to call any of this "progress." Though the folks at Faux Knews (aka, Fox) sit and spin with all their might...

History could teach us a thing or two...
