Roger Sherman writes from Whitefish Montana:

”The censorship on this war is no different than Dictatorships we have opposed in the past. Mainstream media is emasculated, afraid to ask the difficult truth. They have been the other heavy boot of the Bushies standing on the necks of those who tell the open truth about this illegal war in Iraq.”

    Game Over. I have reluctantly disabled the comments on my blog because a small number of self-indulgent spammers and neer do wells with nothing to say about any of the issues I raise or report on, have stepped up the volume of their sniping and SPA's--Stupid personal attacks. I am sure readers find them as offensive and adolescent as I do. All hide behind anonymous emails and never really want replies or a dialogue. Snarky is one thing; insults another.

    Your comments are welcome and I am happy to post them in the blog. Share comments, questions and criticisms by emailing me here.

    Thank you for understanding.

"Curtailment of free speech is rationalized on grounds that a more compelling American tradition forbids criticism of the government when the nation is at war...Nothing can be more destructive of our fundamental democratic traditions than the vicious effort to silence dissenters."
—Martin Luther King, Jr.
