Today's quote comes from Jane Smiley. It's in regards to Iraq and all the other atrocities committed by the Bush administration:
"Clearly Wolfowitz, Cheney, Perle, Rice, Hadley, Kristol, and all the other perps here are lacking in some innate human capacity of observation and understanding, though the fact that they carefully protect themselves from ever seeing what is actually going on in Iraq, in American army hospitals, or in the families of American soldiers indicates that there is, at least, some vestigial organ of fear and avoidance that is still active.
"...I would like to think that we are approaching the deepest, brittlest nubbin of the Bush/Rove conspiracy to take over the US, and that when the inner circle begins to go, there will be less of a crumpling and more of an implosion, as every man and woman saves him -- or herself -- by outing the others. Tenet has begun, but I want a cascade effect. I want an avalanche that buries every single one of these people beyond rescue and beyond redemption. No memoirs, only depositions. No retirement activities, other than mopping floors at Walter Reed. No resurrections, a la Cheney and Rumsfeld and Rove, post-Nixon. Conservatives, read my lips: you own these people. If you want anything from us for the next three generations, get rid of them now." ~Jane Smiley
