Will the Real Traitors Please Stand Up?
By FRANK RICH

WHEN America panics, it goes hunting for scapegoats. But from Salem onward, we've more often than not ended up pillorying the innocent. Abe Rosenthal, the legendary Times editor who died last week, and his publisher, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, were denounced as treasonous in 1971 when they defied the Nixon administration to publish the Pentagon Papers, the secret government history of the Vietnam War. Today we know who the real traitors were: the officials who squandered American blood and treasure on an ill-considered war and then tried to cover up their lies and mistakes. It was precisely those lies and mistakes, of course, that were laid bare by the thousands of pages of classified Pentagon documents leaked to both The Times and The Washington Post. More

LONG LIVE THE KING

[(Anonymous)]

I guess fate is working its way up the food chain. There is so much corruption in the King's administration. It's a shame that the King's courtiers are taking the fall for his pea-brained plans. The King sent out all his men to Iraq and Afghanistan. Over 2437 of his men have not made it home. Maybe the King thinks his subjects are blind.

The King acts as if no one sees what's going on. Karl Rove has been instrumental in building the Kingdom since 1980 when he directed the losing presidential campaign of the King's father. Karl Rove has been described as the "Bush Brain" because of his guidance in gaining the King's successful run for governor in Texas and the White House. But it seems the brain of the King has outsmarted even himself. The brain couldn?t follow a simple principle. Tell the truth.

Now that the King's brain is on it's way out. What is to become of the King? You know the old saying, take out the head and the body will follow. With the King's 29% approval rating the body isn't too far behind.
