tlees2 Commented on Dead Spy's JFK Files Pose a Test for Obama's FOIA Order by Jefferson Morley

"The conspiracy theories - all of them - are based on logical fallacies, grand falloons and outright fabrications."

I repeat - including the one about Lincoln's assassination?

The reason to get it right on the JFK assassination (46 years later) would be so that we can learn the history of the USA so we can better understand the present - to me that is the whole point of studying history.

Well before we can open hearts, we must open minds. We need more institutions that encourage critical thinking instead of institutions such as Fox News that encourage mindlessness. So we have our own battle for "hearts and minds" right here in the USA.

... and her husband was such a big help in letting Wall Street destroy our economy. Andrea was great back in the day in Philadelphia as a local reporter. She's not doing such a great job now in IMHO.

Well, Medicare is wonderful, but engaging in a war that he got us into by deceit that killed millions of people in a cause that LBJ believed was doomed to failure is not exactly something that should have gone on without being protested against.

"We live at a time when Congress no longer believes -- and that includes much of the President's own party -- that a landslide election victory by a Presidential candidate means that the new President has a mandate to enact the program he ran on."

Unless a moron like Bush steals an election and the ethically challenged Republican Congress goes along with any crap he slings at us.
