<p>The Oborg are heavily influenced by the TheoCons. Yes, they're not the kind of cross-burning TheoCons that like Paul or Huckabee or Romney. But think more of the <i>religious</i> values of Clarence Thomas. Or Condaleeza Rice.</p>
<p>Black doesn't mean progressive. Vastleft and Lambert and everyone else in the Clinton camp, you're correct. On that point.</p>
<p>Yet there are other considerations.</p>

The attacks, exposed this week in a report by the government transparency group Wikileaks, include deleting detainee ID numbers from Wikipedia last month, the systematic posting of unattributed "self praise" comments on news organization web sites in response to negative press, boosting pro-Guantanamo stories on the internet news site Digg and even modifying Fidel Castro's encyclopedia article to describe the Cuban president as "an admitted transexual"...</p>

<blockquote><p>We are told that the CIA tapes were destroyed in 2005. Now, what tapes are these DOJ lawyers examining in September and October of 2007? Please take a look at this memo, <a href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/world/20071207_intel_letter.pdf">HERE</a>, do you see anything that says that the tapes were a). destroyed and b). in 2005?</p>
<p>I am sure someone has a logical answer to this. I am, unfortunately, not that person. Anyone?</p>

<p>Simple. The <i>tapes</i> were destroyed, but not before Li'l Boots had 'em made into a DVD for Uncle Dick's Xmas present.</p>
<p>And no, I do NOT have the primary reference for that assertion.</p>
