Focus on the facts
Two powerful essays up at
CommonDreams today, both calling on us to focus on the facts. The first shares the story of
Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey's persistent attempts to get the country to focus on facts, not ideological rhetoric, in the face of the Bush Administration's war in Iraq. The second asks us to focus on the facts -- not the spin -- surrounding the
government's eavesdropping on America citizens. Given that it appears that very specific and relentless attention in the form of warrantless searches has been
focused on Muslim Americans, we need all the more to be very careful and clear about the constitutionality -- more precisely, the lack thereof -- of our government's actions.
