My latest letter to the editor, comments welcomed:

At last weeks State of the Union Address, invited guest Cindy Sheehan was arrested and handcuffed for wearing a t-shirt that said, "2,245 Dead. How many more?" Is it any wonder that Ms. Sheehan and many other Americans question the Bush administrations assertion that we are in Iraq because of our deep commitment to freedom and democracy? Her t-shirt was not obscene or offensive, it simply voiced a viewpoint different from that of the President. But apparently in todays America that is illegal.

This is merely the latest example of how the Bush administration talks about freedom and democracy abroad while subverting both here at home. To name but a few, the current administration has:

- Enacted faith-based legislation by executive order when it did not receive the support of the democratically elected Congress

- Paid off reporters for favorable press coverage, planted Republican operatives in the White House press corps, and produced taxpayer funded propaganda to be passed off as actual news

- Made broad use of recess appointments (17 already in 2006) to circumvent the Senates advise and consent role, for which he has received bi-partisan criticism

- Supported repressive regimes in Israel, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia among others while brisling at the thought of dealing with the democratic governments of Venezuela and Palestine

- Spied on U.S. citizens without probable cause or any oversight

Yet despite these and other attempts to restrict democracy in the U.S., President Bush has the audacity to be indignant when anyone suggests freedom might not be our major objective in Iraq. On the bright side, if we continue on our current path, Mr. Bush wont have to deal with such dissent much longer.

Sincerely,
Aylor Talbott, III
