Does it get any more bizarre than this? [View All]

It turns out that a top Pakastani nuclear scientist has been feeding technology for twenty years to our most hated enemies; Iran, N. Korea and Lybia.

Mushareff says "Oh my, how unfortunate. But we think he (the scientist) is really a good person at heart, so all is forgiven".

Our own government says "Oh my, how unfortunate. But we think he (Mushareff) is really a good person at heart, so all is forgiven".

Yet, we just went to war against a country for "suspecting" they "might" have (or want to have) nuclear technology - when they didn't - killing thousands of innocent civilians along with over 500 of our own sons and daughters.

And now it turns out that for 20 years there's been a burgeoning market in nuclaer technology throughout Africa and the ME including Malaysia where the president's son is a shareholder in the engineering company invloved. Of course, they plan to "investigate".

Our intelligence community, so admired by us that we spend billions of dollars a year on them, seems to have had no clue as well. This, the same intelligence community that had no inkling that the Soviet Union was about to collapse until it did. The same inteligence community that had no human-intelligence on the ground in Iraq yet was prepared to support totally bogus estimates of Iraq's military capability for political reasons.

It would be difficult to be a journalist these days because it would be impossible to know which head of the thousand-headed-snake that winds through the global corporations and governments and RW think tanks and portfolios of those running our own government - is the most important one to examine first. And because when you finally understood part of what you were looking at - no one would care anyway.

So instead you examine the weighty repurcussions of the breast shot heard round the world.

Is it just me or does anybody else here feel like we're on a movie set where there is no script or story line, where everyone is walking around with all these real loaded weapons and no-one is in charge of continuity. All we only know is we're supposed to do something violent for the director.

Lights, cameras . . .
