However Id like to think Obama would be less inclined to fall in line with the skewed establishment that Clinton has been such a part of for all her 'experience', and shake up a few things, both above and below the table. Maybe its just wishful thinking. Baron, my mistake on the transfer date.

When you take an overview of the constitutional rights that have been swept away by the regime we call government these days, the conspiracy theorists that suggest that our government was behind 9/11 don't sound so crazy after all.

Bravo. And I was just re-reading an old McLeans article that I'd left at work that featured an interview that summed things up nicely: "Disasters are moments where people are blasted out of the way, where they are in a state of shock, whether they're scattered-as after a hurricane hits in New Orleans-or just picking up the pieces after having been bombed, or their entire world view has just been shattered-as after Sept. 11. These are just malleable political moments. And there is an awareness that disasters create these opportunities, so you have a whole movement-much of it standing at the ready within the think-tank infrastructure. I think of these think tanks as sort of idea-warmers-they keep the ideas ready for when the disaster hits. Milton Friedman said that only a crisis, real or perceived, produces real change, and when that crisis hits, the change that occurs depends on the ideas that are lying around."
