I've been suspicious about the softwood lumber agreement ever since it came out that a sizable chunk was landing in BushCo's hands without any real oversight.
Over at Correntwire, we have a detailed analysis of that aspect of the agreement, along with a chilling analysis of how Bush may well use those dollars to continue his "rat on your neighbors" programs of illegal surveillance.
Anyone for asking our government why they are giving the US White House half a billion dollars to abuse the rights and freedoms of their own citizens?
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
