"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

I believe that the president's leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers."
--House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi

House Majority leader Tom DeLay, responded:
"Nancy Pelosi should apologize for her irresponsible, dangerous rhetoric. She apparently is so caught up in partisan hatred for President Bush that her words are putting American lives at risk."

That's right, folks, it's now official: criticize our the President and you are endangering American lives.

Open The Government - Welcome Americans for Less Secrecy, More Democracy....

From the front page:

The Problem
Our leaders are closing the doors of government. The government detains hundreds in secret, writes an energy policy behind closed doors, allows secret Patriot Act searches OK'd by secret courts, withholds data about chemical contamination in our drinking water, and keeps too much information classified and out of the public eye.

What OpenTheGovernment.org Will Do
We'll highlight alerts, reports and analyses from dozens of groups. This coalition includes librarians, journalists, good government and environmental groups, and labor. We are advocates defending the First Amendment, promoting free expression, strengthening national security and fighting censorship.
