You know, Steve, Lenin accurately defined liberals as “useful idiots.” Today, America’s useful idiots are proving useful in bringing harm to America from within as well as from without.

If the press had been doing its job in the early run-up to the invasion of Iraq we might not have actually invaded. There were still new articles being written only a year or two ago (and not just on Fox) that said that we invaded because Hussein did not let in weapons inspectors. Trying to divert attention from a lack of intelligence in the administration and Congress?
I think that the only true conservative in government today is probably Ron Paul. And you are right - the media (and even his own party) have not been very positive towards him.
BTW, you DO know that Jefferson was a liberal, right?
Jamo,
You are right about the CinC being in charge, but does the military have an obligation to defy that CinC when his orders violate the Constitution? I think that the results at Nuremburg show that answer to be a 'yes'.
Have you been following Watadas court martial at all? It's a very interesting case.
