surfing through youtube: political videos

Starting out with The Daily Show footage:

NSA Scandal
On the NSA assembling a database on ALL domestic calls.

Annual GOP BBQ and Nude Cub Scout Wrestle
The Mark Foley scandal. (And also this, and this, and this.)

Inconvenient Politically Timed Scandals
On the Republican response to the numerous scandals coming out.

Bush takes questions from an unscripted audience
*SHOCKU*

Now, to get more serious, news on Iraq:

650,000 Iraqi civilian war deaths? Bush doesn't buy it.
If Bush doesn't buy it, it can't be true. Right?

President Bush divorced from reality in Iraq
A view from a reporter who's on the ground.

the study referred to above
Where the 600,000 Iraqi dead number came from.

While all eyes are on Foley, Iraq is rapidly deteriorating.
I got chills watching this. The situation there is so horrible, and the people in power are either completely blind or just don't care, as long as they can supress or spin the facts so it doesn't hurt come election time.

state dept poll: 60% of iraqis favor attacks on US forces
61% of Iraqis approve of attacks on US forces. 78% said US military presence is not a stabalizing force.

And, another piece of news that got shoved aside for Mark Foley:

on the military commissions act, which does away with the habeas corpus and the geneva conventions
"We face a government more dangerous to our liberty than is the enemy it claims to protect us from."
