He seems to think journilism is the key element of democracy.In fact journilist spread propaganda for their various beliefs. Won't disagree about the what he has to say on corruption though.

Wonder what the beliefs were of the journalist (s) who first reported on Pvt. Lynch's recovery from the Iraqi hopital ? More importantly , why aren't more journalists reporting on the major discrepencies between accounts of this story ? BTW , the source below is known to be quite conservative :

And what about Scott Ritter? How come we never heard about how he had been compromised by the Russians since 88.
Scott Ritter: Patriot, or Pervert?
Ritter's wife was a Russian agent. Russia is against the war. Any surprise Scotty is?
Hears a lovely quote from Scott
$1:
Ritter: The prison in question is at the General Security Services headquarters, which was inspected by my team in Jan. 1998. It appeared to be a prison for children — toddlers up to pre-adolescents — whose only crime was to be the offspring of those who have spoken out politically against the regime of Saddam Hussein. It was a horrific scene. Actually I'm not going to describe what I saw there because what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I'm waging peace.
If Scott had been for the war the press would have crucified him.

Memorial Day, is like our Nov 11th, except to many Americans its a day for picnics and barbeques. I would like to say to our American friends who are serving, or who have served or even those who are family members of military. here in Canada those of us who have served our country stand with you in a momant of silence for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Our memorial day, Nov.11th is not a day we use for picnics, but for thoughts of those who went before us, who gave thier lives so that we may enjoy the freedoms we do today. Take the time to thank a Vet for the wonderful life you are able to live.
HAppy Memorial day to our American Brothers
