Why is government supposed to be WIDE open?

Never mind any Kennedy assassination theories...

Our government, and the Republican Party, are clearly lying to us about 9/11. We've known this for years. However, a new poll has come out showing that 41% of Americans - an increase! - believe Saddam played a proactive role in the 9/11 attacks. That poll also shows:

- More people believe the majority of 9/11 hijackers came from Iraq, Iran, or Syria than from Saudi Arabia (45% - 20/14/11 respectively - to 43%)!!!
- Around 100 of the 1001 people surveyed, when asked who the Speaker of the House is answered "Newt Gingrich" or "Tom DeLay"!!!

Amazing how misinformation and stupidity coalesce into something quite dangerous, eh?

The side-effect of all this lying and secrecy is that many Americans - approximately one-third - are convinced that the lying and secrecy has to do with 9/11. In a sense, the Bush administration enables its critics by "working in the shadows" and spreading misinformation. Their incompetence/illicitness generates its enemies, whom they vilify as "anti-American terrorist sympathizers" and the like. Christopher Hayes of the Nation magazine writes all about this phenomenon.

The Newsweek poll above also shows that 20% of Americans still think Saddam had WMD's. To that end, the Bush administration is resisting the declassification of the Senate's report on Iraq's WMD capabilities. Why would they resist? The fear of both negative media coverage and Democrat-led congressional investigations!!!

Anyone who still believes that this administration is not subverting the Constitution, and damaging our way of life, in an effort to become de facto fascist dictators is clearly not paying attention to the millions of signs the administration is throwing at them.
