After Bill Moyers Part 1 interview with Bacevich, conservative historian and author of the new book, Limits of Power, his book became the latest must-read on the subject of American political imperialism, the Iraq war, and Congress' abdication of power to the Executive Branch.

And guess what?  He's saying what almost every liberal in America has been saying for quite a long time. And he's not pulling any punches.

Part 2 also hits a home run because Bacevich discusses the implications of what's happening right now in a way that no one else is willing to talk about.  

Truth to Power. I'm not able to post the video here, so here's the link.  Both part of the interview are accesible on the same page.

Dubie touts record as ‘co-pilot’

Dubie says candidates for lieutenant governor have never been expected to make such disclosures, and he finds it curious that the issue has surfaced now.

“There’s never been a public disclosure other than the governor’s office, period,” Dubie says. “I’m hesitant, in the middle of a political campaign, to break precedent. Where does it stop? Does he want my health records too? There just isn’t any guidance on this.”

Well it can be easily explained and there is guidance to be had.

Governor Jim Douglas the man for whom Dubie is the self proclaimed co-pilot made an issue of Symington’s tax release disclosure. He even made a TV commercial about this specific issue you may have missed.

So its not at all that curious. There is guidance on this. Gov.Douglas has made an issue of it and your actions are in opposition to his stated position. Heading in two directions at once …now that’s no way to co-pilot.

I wish the Times-Argus hadn’t buried this at the end of the article. It is worthy of being the main focus given the elevation of the tax issue by the Gov.
