Magesterial indictment

I've mentioned Dave Neiwert from time to time. His journal Orcinus is, unlike most blogs, filled with long, reasoned, reasonable posts about matters. No scattershot unrelated data, no quick snark; he's a serious writer worthy of serious consideration, who never descends into tedium.

He has just written a long, reasoned, reasonable post about the biggest issue facing the American public. It looks like it's two points, but it's really one:

. . .Bush's "war on terror" is an incomprehensible exercise in increasing the likelihood that high radicalized, highly motivated terrorists will again strike on American soil. A serious war on terror would begin from a recognition of the nature of the threat, with a considered response that's both flexible and comprehensive. Bush's Iraq war is none of these.

And the American public will never hear this from its mainstream media, especially not the dysfunctional, inbred family that is the Beltway press corps.

The title? The Media Revolt Manifesto. Go pay attention to it.
