E. Howard Hunt, a major organizer of the Watergate break-in, died today. From this article, a telling quote:
"I had always assumed, working for the CIA for so many years, that anything the White House wanted done was the law of the land," Hunt told People magazine for its May 20, 1974, issue.
Do they ever learn? It seems not, on the eve of a State of the Union speech filled with misguided, uninformed directives. It doesn't matter how you get the President's job done, get it done, and don't bother him with the details.
However, details add up. They brought down a corrupt man in power before. Whether they do so again depends on whether our collective ears will allow the truth to drown out the advertising.
