There Should Have Been Silence…..
Tonight, George W. Bush was cheered and applauded by members of Congress as he approached the dais to present his sixth SOTU address.He was applauded regularly throughout his address to the nation. That response was an unforgivable, yet predictable disgrace.The members of Congress applauded the words of their failed and incompetent leader.They applauded when there should have been total silence.
There should have been silence for the thousands of dead American and coalition troops, and for the maimed and blinded and limbless soldiers who have been sacrificed for nothing more than greed and hubris.
There should have been silence for the hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded Iraqis whose nation will never recover from its wounds.
There should have been silence for the victims of Katrina whose plight has been ignored and forgotten in Louisiana and Mississippi, and who know first hand that their President is a professional liar who cares nothing at all for their continued suffering.
And, last but not least, there should have been silence for the Constitution of the United States that is now on its deathbed.
There should have been total silence, and yet, there was applause.
EU states 'knew of CIA flights'
A European Parliament committee has approved a report which says EU states knew of secret CIA flights over Europe.
The report says the governments also knew of the abduction of terror suspects by US agents and the US's use of clandestine detention centres.
But it says claims that the CIA had a secret prison in Poland are unproven.
The report, which goes to a vote of the full parliament next month, also says the UK, Italy and Poland were reluctant to co-operate with the investigation.

επίσης σήμερα το πρωί με πήρε τηλέφωνο ο φίλος μου ο Παναγιώτης Χατζηστεφάνου (ναι κι αυτός απόφοιτος) και με δάκρυα στα μάτια με παρακαλούσε να τον διαβεβαιώσω πως δεν έχει τρελλαθεί εντελώς, πως δεν του έχουν σαλέψει τα λογικά, πως δεν βλέπει φαντάσματα
ο λόγος για τις αμφιβολίες που σπάραζαν τα σωθικά του φίλου μου ήταν η εμφάνιση λέει κάτι αρχαίων στις στήλες Ολυμπίου Διός που διαμαρτύρονταν για τα δικαιώματα του Δωδεκάθεου
τον ηρέμησα λέγοντάς του πως δεν έχει ακόμα τρελλαθεί, πως αυτοί οι αρχαίοι είναι στην πραγματικότητα bloggers που μαζεύτηκαν να διαδηλώσουν εναντίον της Μαρίλης Μαργωμένου, επειδή δημοσίευσε αποσπάσματα από τα εμετικά σχόλια ενός εμετικού ανώνυμου
δεν είμαι σίγουρος ότι τον έπεισα εντελώς, αλλά φάνηκε να ηρεμεί λιγάκι
συνήλθε εντελώς μόνο όταν του είπα πως αυτοί οι Αρχαίοι είναι "αλήτες, ρουφιάνοι, δημοσιογράφοι" που τα πήραν με τα σχόλια της composition doll και ως εκ τούτου οργάνωσαν αυτή την άδικη εκδήλωση διαμαρτυρίας φορώντας αρχαιοπρεπή σύνολα του οίκου Τσούχλου, προκειμένου να επιτύχουν μεγαλύτερο εντυπωσιασμό
