"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
But it cannot survive treason from within.
An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known, and he carries his banners openly.
But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely,
his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys,
heard in the very hall of government itself.
For the traitor appears no traitor.
He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims,
and he wears their face and their garments,
and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in hearts of men.
He rots the soul of a nation.
He works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city.
He infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
A Murderer Is Less To Be Feared."
Cicero, 43 B.C.
From the LA Times article "Democrats' War Opposition Not a United Front ":
"Many Democratic political strategists and foreign policy analysts
have long believed the party can benefit more from criticizing Bush's handling of the war than from specifying an alternative."

Wow! Words fail. The memos and the pictures are beyond belief. The most talented fiction writer would never be able to dream up this stuff.
