    Pfft, I read this days ago on digg. You know it was pretty newsworthy when Digg went down for a few hours Friday afternoon. You would think Slashdot would report on it? Is it not news for nerds? Why wouldn't slashdot have a blog entry about it? Oh wait...

    I need to know what the greatest lie is and who will be honored for it...from the justification for war and the [non-existent] WMDs, and Scooter Libby's lies about that CIA agent, to Iraq's imminent usage of a nuclear device in 45 minutes...and so on. Who will take that honor?

    What stance does suso webhosting take on pro-Republican websites? Do you, as a host of content, actively remove Republican propaganda from your servers?

    On the other hand, the war on drugs is taking lives at a greater rate here in the US than the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts put together.

    There's more than enough to suggest that it was your own government that was responsible, not some "Islamic fundamentalists".

    It'd take too long to get into here, but go do some research. Look into the numerous anomalies spouted by your government and your mass media. I imagine you'll dismiss them. But of course, any true American who does some real research will soon become aware that something just isn't right with the "official" story and Keane Commission whitewash. There are too many dots that just do not connect as they should.

    Pardon? I'm not sure what Jewish people and Mossad have to do with this. Why do you bring your anti-Semitic hatred into our discussion?
