Bush Doesn't Trust America

In a spot on editorial, WaPo's Eugene Robinson says:

[A]ssume that the president has the best of motives, then the problem is that he wants to protect the American people but doesn't trust us.

An incredible argument for me, Robinson says simply that all of the things presently occurring are being done behind the backs of American citizens. Assuming the necessity of such drastic measures to keep mushroom clouds out of NYC, L.A., D.C. or even Hollywood, the president should be honest with America.

Their argument of course is that it alerts the terrorists as to what we're doing in order that they take other measures. That doesn't stop the president however from Congress and asking for a wider latitude in his executive powers as opposed to just trumpeting "war on terror, war on terror" and procceding to get Alberto Gonzalez to say a few words, sprinkled with legal, Constitution and 'Congress authorizing use of military force' and everything be hunky dory.

Until you acknowledge and develop the ability to be self-supportive, you cannot alter your reality in the world.
