I'm glad there were protests today in front of the White House about the U.S. wars. But the peace movement, such as it is, is like a person in a restaurant who keeps putting down his hand when the waiter looks at him. Makes a ruckus when Bush is in the White House, quiets down when Obama gets in, instead of using that moment to change things. Now piping up with Republicans taking over House. Well, don't stop, build, get global and end the empire already.
Before Judiciary committee: Thomas Blanton of the National Security Archive and other often reasonable people refer to the "Bradley Manning problem" -- trying to find ways of restricting access to information. Blanton talks of using two-people launch codes as analogy. Actually, you solve the problem by not having such an awful foreign policy. Now, Nader: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Legaland
