Third Rate Burglary = Isolated Incidents

The continued response of the Bush regime to abuses at Gitmo--"isolated incidents"--and to the press reporting--"absurd,"--has a familiar ring. Nixon's press secretary called the Watergate break-in a "third rate burglary," and his regime put out the notion that press reports were "inoperative." Use whatever language you want, a lie is a lie, and a cover-up is a cover-up. The responsibility of the American people to make their government accountable is what's on the line. The elected representatives are only as good or as bad as the people who elected them are, according to Will Rogers.
