Bush may not like the growing criticism he faces, but it's warranted
First, the Patriot Act. I could go on about that for about a year. It sets the course towards making 1984 a reality at best, and setting the ship on a full throttle course towards facism at worst.
Second, the attempted (and successful) overthrow of enemy governments for purposes of well....just cause he doesn't like the leader(s). Even in the face of the aforementioned criticism, it appeared he was angling towards expanding the "war on terror" to Iran or Syria. You know cause they are hotbeds of terrorist activity. Just like Iraq was in the Saddam regime.
Thirdly, the still (and probably always) uninvestigated Downing St. memo's. He had a very good idea the intellegence was exagerrated. You'll never convince me otherwise.
Now, there's the allegations that Bush wanted to (and may have) targeted a media outlet for bombings.
There are a lot of problems with this scenario if it's true. First it stomps all over the first amendment. I don't care if the media outlet was in another country or a war zone. Our smart bombs are smart enough to avoid entire buildings when they are readily identified as being television stations. Secondly, that's a terrorist act isn'it it? Targeting civilians.
Hypocrisy?
Sadly, there are still those who refuse to see the reasons behind the anger with the current administration at home or abroad.

There is also the problem of the Pentagon paying Iraqi papers, for good news.
It creates an atmosphere, where Iraqi journalists, will be accused of being paid.
The free press, was the major reform after the invasion.
I found this blog surfing.
I agree renegade. If there is a state run newspaper that everyone knows is state run, that's fine. But let's not have a biased "free press".
I'm adding a link to your site tonight.
