It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread.

Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.


Impeach Rumsfeld Postcards - send to Congress
Saturday, May 15, 2004
 
Get your Impeach Rumsfeld Postcards and send them to Congress - get Washington to act now!

Soon to come - Impeach Bush cards too. Bush knew about the program to torture. Who didn't know? The American people!

Bush knew? Please give me the citation to the news article.
 

From Seymore Hersh's New Yorker article:

"The operation had across-the-board approval from Rumsfeld and from Condoleezza Rice, the national-security adviser. President Bush was informed of the existence of the program."

It's only the expansion of the program from torture in Afghanistan to torture in Iraq of which there is any question of Bush's knowledge.
