And the president who vowed to lead the war for freedom and democracy has made torture, rendition, abductions, lawless detentions of even our own citizens, secret "black site" prisons, Abu Ghraib dog leashes, and orange Guantánamo jumpsuits the strange, new symbols of America around the world.

New essay by Glenn Greenwald on the future legacy of America's reaction to 9/11.

He was full of B.S. to begin with. He intended to overtake Iraq before 9/11 and he intended to help the rich get richer at the expense of all others to begin with.

His so-called Christian faith is too. As governor of Texas he presided over the most capital punishment deaths while claiming to look up to Jesus as his "ideal".

And look at his appointed cronies. Mostly incompetent for the jobs they were given as heads of government, and banking, and judicial appointments. The man was a farce from the start.

He's over spent by a trillion and took away our rights as citizens. And he's weakened our country's strategic positioning in the world.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. He's a perfect case in point.

I'd POP a second time for AcesLucky comment if I could.

I'll pop it for you. Great clip, Kore7.
