Fading awayout -- not wanting to displace any of the really fine items posted, but not wanting to go without leaving taste of what I ran into over there (mentioned the OD board -- they are well below the level here). It was good action. Held my own, I think. */ [url]http://www.thenation.com/blogs/capitalgames?pid=11020#comment[/url] Since this thread will no doubt soon disappear into archived eternality, I submit the following propositions to summarize the overall position my posts, as a totality. */ Stipulating to what all are presumed in agreement -- in the interest of philosophy, without naming names.

Untrue statements were used as part of the official justification of war

This thread in Nation exists because the untruths were exposed as known; hence, lies. Attempt to discredit the one exposing them was made by government officials' leaking classified information about his wife to the press.

Whoever causes damage to others by deliberate action should pay for it.

This is the principle of responsibility for one's actions built into law. It holds even if the damage was not caused deliberately: the driver of the car that rear-ends one stopped in front of it pays for the repair. (I know)

If a bomb goes off inside America, two kinds of people at opposite political extremes will almost certainly be killed: those who knowingly supported this war based on untruths leading to catastrophic destruction in the Middle East, and those who tried to stop them.

Conclusions. 1. The first kind will be getting what they deserve 2. The second kind will die because of the first kind's acts. 3. The time for the second to hate the first is now.
