To take a line out of the right-wing - and god did I hate this one when used
by the State Police against any of us in demonstrations against any of the
wars, etc. - "There are not innocent bystanders". Welcome to the Club, Mr.
Wolfolitz, I'd say. I think PW was such an offensive neo-con - a public
relations endangerment to an already clearly and deeply flawed vision &
policy in Iraq and the Middle-East - that Karl Rove and Rumsfeld had to
bail him out of the Pentagon over into the World Bank. Cheney was enough of
a disaster to shield from his totally cock-eyed pronouncements on the
"insurgency in its last throes", etc.
