[H2O Man]

(1) I think it is for us to decide why Bush sat like a bump on a log. I do not think that public pressure would get him to tell the truth. I am convinced that he lacks the moral capacity to tell the public the truth.

(2) Our goal should be to win the November election, and then pressure the correct officials and agencies to prosecute for any crimes committed by this administration's officials.

I think that the major error the public makes is in thinking the administration is "in control" of so many things, including 9-11. They are actually out of control. Iraq is out of control. The economy is out of control. The environmental damage being done by industry is out of control. Is the administration capitalizing on the lack of control? Of course.
