the fact that he backed Bush regarding terrorists not being POW's

What difference does that make when he goes out and says that Bush knew about 9-11 beforehand and did nothing about it? And then denies he says it, in spite of EVIDENCE that he did?

Dean is a liar, plain and simple.

You need to read up more on him; appaerntly the man has no values, so he can be whatever you want him to be. In fact, there was an article saying just that today, but I can't find it right now.

But here is one you should read: Howard Dean: our man from Vermont

Dean is a bit more subtle than you give him credit for. He said that an interesting theory was that Bush knew about 9-11 before hand, and he could not prove that he did, but it was unfortunate that Bush was not telling all (actually Dean was behind the curve, because Bush has decided to go the info dump route), because it allowed such interesting theories to gain traction.

Dean has taken a vacation from any moral grounding that I can relate to. He is into that lean and hungry look, consumed by ambition. When he comes back down to Earth, he may regain normalcy, and be given the space to recenter himself. That is my psycho-babble thought for the day.
