There is more to hear than terrorism

Now that once-headlined words have faded and highly charged speeches have become whispers, what has happened to the search for truth behind the treasonable acts committed by this country four years ago?

Why has the patron saint of lost causes secluded himself from those who only seek the truth? Could it be that he's been kept in the shadows of doubt, behind a cloak of political intrigue, or even suppressed by a government that cannot admit error?

Ask yourself: What is the greater crime, the commission of it or the cover-up? Answer: Neither is inferior to the other.

The CIA leak has potentially scarred this country forever beyond mere blemish. The factual admission by the Bush Administration that the leak came from his bureaucracy was revealed more than a year ago and yet nothing has been done other than pardoning the man convicted.

Nowhere recorded in the annals of American history has such an attack on this country been perpetrated by its own government.

We have much more to fear than external terrorism. We should be deathly afraid for the potential loss of justice, honor and the rule of law.

For the love of God, for the resurrection of America and for the integrity and maintenance of the Constitution of all these United States, we must unite to once and for all destroy the worst angels that inhabit us all.
