Edward Snowden, my book with Scott Ritter, and the art of exploiting the messenger vs. the message

[RVN VET]

103. Zahn is a tool

Always has been. Always will be. Ritter was in Iraq, on the ground, as a weapons inspector with the U.N. team. Zahn, meanwhile, was living the good life in the U.S. as a pretend journalist with opinions shaped and vetted by her handlers and owners in the media.

Bush, Cheney, Wolfie, Adkinson, Feith (the stupidest man in America, as Gen. Franks dubbed him), Yoo, Rice, and the rest of that shameful, unamerican crew can -- and should -- all go to hell, if there only was a hell for them to go to. Yet they're all roaming free, dumping their lying feces on the Sunday talk shows, writing books that are promoted -- and bought up by the truck load -- by the so-called "conservative" organizations, working at "think tanks" and in general being treated with a deference and respect not one of them deserves.

And I agree, river, Ritter is a hero and the entire country should be collectively ashamed of the ease with which we pushed him into the shadows.
