Disinformation is power.

Editor,

George Bush, et al., have no interest in debating their dissenters. If he can mouth a whopper in a sound bite -- e.g., that he invaded Iraq to fight al Qaeda -- it doesn't matter whether a questioner gets him to qualify his statement (with still more whoppers -- e.g., that he invaded Iraq to fight al Zarqawi), because the vast American public who get their "news" from network TV will hear it. All that matters is to get it said.

BushCo are also trying to shut down the press, by tracing whistleblower's phone calls, and with the help of their giant telco buddies shut down the exchange of accurate information via the Internet, as per their current attack on "net neutrality".

Disinformation is power.
