"Security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad." George W. Bush's Farewell Address, 15 January 2009

Practically Holy Writ.

Truer words were never spoken -- and such true words have been severely ignored by certain Cellarites, who put themselves in disgrace thereby. Hey, people, blatant anti-Republican prejudice is practiced only by the second-rate. Or worse.

"As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals." Brack Obama Inaugural Address

Practically Holy Writ....we dont have to torture...we dont have to spy on citizens w/o a warrant...we dont have to withhold documents from the public's right to know based on dubious national security claims.

Truer words were never spoken.

If you think this is going to happen under Obama because of a speech you are sorely mistaken. Who gets to say what is dubious and what is not if you never see them nor know if such a document exists?

Why am I mistaken before even giving the new admistration an opportuunity to demonstrate greater transparency. Executive Orders are a good start

Which is why most of our efforts have actually been not conventional and many of them effective.
