The Truth Hurts (Those Who Tell It)

"You are charged with suspicion of un-American thoughts and deeds."

Are we to continue to believe the myth that the Obama administration is for open democracy and transparency in government, as it presses on to silence those who serve our country by exposing its follies, waste and misdeeds?

As this Truthdig article clearly argues, the land of the free is becoming the land of the mute. Bradley Manning is but the most publicly visible example of a growing list of good citizens being put behind bars for doing the right thing.

Maybe it’s time to wake up.

America is becoming a police state and its Chief Prosecutor sits in the Oval Office.
