When the Truth is Unconscionable
May 27th, 2006 @ 4:29 pm

I’ve read with great remorse and sorrow the stories in the MSM about the massacre in Haditha. My heart aches, as the heart of every American should right now, for this and… how we got here.

There’s some reckoning to be done and justice must be served. The time to turn our backs in denial is over. The time to place the blame on those who stand and speak the truth to power is over.

Even today, as the Haditha massacre is drawing outrage in the right wing blogosphere, some continue to push the swift boat lies, thanks to a piece in the NY Times that Ron posted about earlier today.

“When Is Enough Really Enough,” in this circumstance and others like it in the past — “where’s the insistence that - after having lives lost to this abuse of power and more lives on the line - we’re going to demand an accountability moment?”
