So the LA Times is not part of the propaganda that brought us the Iraq War? And the US must, must at all cost, stop paying for prison guards to figure it out?

There's no other way to just ... figure it out? You know, by studying the situation?

I’m begging you to read Manufacturing Consent.

And when has “studying the situation” ever worked to make the government stop wasting money destroying the Middle East? Obama promised to change this stuff, and he couldn’t do it, because he innately trusted the same people who made the mistakes to “study” how to fix them.

I can't believe you agree with the premise of Manufacturing Consent and the goals of the administration.

They're manufacturing consent to a massive power grab from Congress. The consent to an American King is being manufactured in front of our very eyes.
