You all remember how Bush forbade news coverage or images of dead soldier's from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars? Yet he has the gall to use images from 9/11 as if he owned them.

As a matter of fact, Bush seems to have a real problem understanding the boundaries between governing and owning: he's sold our country to the highest corporate bidders, allowing them to gouge us when they provide us services or to send their jobs overseas or to counsel their employees on how to use government funds to cover the shortfall in the minimum wage jobs.

Let's start a massive media blitz and confront every newsperson who distorts the truth about Bush's record or John Kerry's character.


For example, here is the text of a letter that I sent this evening to the editor of Time Magazine :

Dear Editor,

In response to Charles Krauthammer's essay, "Why 9/11 Belongs in the Campaign:" Mr. Krauthammer maintains that images of 9/11 dead have a place in Bush's campaign because "the Bush doctrine of going after states and not just terrorists, and the implementation of that doctrine in both Afghanistan and Iraq — are central to deciding the fitness of George W. Bush to continue in office."

Yet the White House has banned news coverage and photographs of dead soldiers' returned from Afghanistan and Iraq, certainly the result of his doctrine of going after terrorists. Does that not play a role in determining his fitness for office? How can he focus on only those images he believes will enhance his campaign while ignoring those he knows will harm it? He can't have it both ways.

Sincerely,
