Bad Deeds For 3-18-2008

Cheney Ties Iraq and al-Qaeda Again – Vice President Dick Cheney, in a press conference during a surprise visit to Iraq, again stated that it was “pretty clear” there was a link between Iraq and al-Qaeda before Sep. 11 in spite of the release last week of an exhaustive Pentagon report which concluded that there were no ties between Saddam Hussein and the terror network.

Conservatives Preachers Have Denounced America’s Shortcomings Too – The following is from the son of a conservative preacher: Every Sunday thousands of right wing white preachers rail against America’s sins from tens of thousands of pulpits. They tell us that America is complicit in the “murder of the unborn,” has become “Sodom” by coddling gays, and that our public schools are sinful places full of evolutionists and sex educators hell-bent on corrupting children. They say that we are, “under the judgment of God.” They call America evil and warn of immanent destruction. By comparison Obama’s minister’s shouted “controversial” comments were mild. All he said was that God should damn America for our racism and violence and that no one had ever used the N-word about Hillary Clinton. But when my late father — Religious Right leader Francis Schaeffer — denounced America and even called for the violent overthrow of the US government, he was invited to lunch with presidents Ford, Reagan and Bush, Sr.

Conservative [neocon/authoritarian] Bill Kristol Wrongly Claims that Obama Was in Attendance When Pastor Made Controversial Statements – Conservative Bill Kristol claims that Obama was in fact in the pews at Trinity last July 22 when Reverend Wright made controversial statements. However, Obama was on his way to campaign in Miami.

Fox News Attacks Obama

Fox News Correspondent Likens Obama Pastor and Hitler On Sunday, Fox News correspondent Ainsley Earhardt likens Obama pastor Jeremiah Wright to Hitler.

Department of Defense Delayed Brain Injury Scans – For more than two years, the Pentagon delayed screening troops returning from Iraq for mild brain injuries because officials feared veterans would blame vague ailments on the little-understood wound caused by exposure to bomb blasts, says the military’s director of medical assessments. Air Force Col. Kenneth Cox said in an interview that the Pentagon wanted to avoid another controversy such as the so-called Gulf War syndrome.

FBI Watchlist Data is Unreliable – The FBI gave outdated, incomplete and inaccurate information about terror suspects to be added to the government’s watchlist for nearly three years despite steps taken to prevent errors, a Justice Department audit concludes.
