Watch These Guys...
When BushCo. breaks out the legal guns, you know that something or someone must really be getting under their skin. So apparently a group of West Point graduates, which I've recently joined and which opposes the deceptive way we were taken into Iraq has really annoyed the cabal in the White House.
As has been the case from the first BushCo. campaign against Al Gore, they have not addressed the issues raised by West Point Graduates Against the War. Instead they've sent out the lawyers telling the group that they cannot use the name West Point. Because it's been trademarked.
The group has refused to back down and they continue their efforts to make the case that they - and all past and future graduates - are obligated to oppose the deceptions that made the invasion of Iraq possible because of the West Point honor code which all graduates strive to live their lives by:
"a cadet will not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do."
BushCo. continue their distracting arm-waving. But the truth cannot always be silenced by the lawyers.
