Fort Dix Six: Yet Another High Tech Lynching of Muslims By the Federal Government

Joe Lieberman, the Senator who seems to represent the State of Israel, the Bush Administration, and the Insurance Industry exclusively, is grand-standing NOW, before the facts are in. This is because, obviously, if he waited for the trial on the evidence--even a show trial as these "terrorism" prosecutions tend to be--the facts would undermine his rhetoric. For a sound analysis of this latest Injustice Department fiasco-star-chamber-outrage, go here.

In the early 20th century, we had Sacco and Vanzetti. By mid-century, we had produced the Rosenbergs. In the early 21st, with neo-Fascism making its most ferocious bid for the rudder of the American republic, we set up immigrant Muslims.

It is time to start sowing yellow crescents into our clothing in solidarity.

Thank you, NPR, for disseminating Administration propaganda as journalism. I was beginning to think you had lost your post-9/11 urge to pander.

And thanks to you, too, Mr. Justice Thomas (or thanks to your cynical right-wing handlers) for the "high-tech lynching" meme. Perhaps it can finally be put to an honest use.
