"Ex-Diplomats, Military Leaders Oppose Bush" (http://edition.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/06/13/bush.criticism/index.html)

WASHINGTON (AP) - Angered by Bush administration policies they contend endanger national security, 26 retired U.S. diplomats and military officers are urging Americans to vote President Bush out of office in November.

Prominent members include retired Marine Gen. Joseph P. Hoar, commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East during the administration of Bush's father; retired Adm. William J. Crowe Jr., ambassador to Britain under President Clinton and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Reagan; and Jack F. Matlock Jr., a member of the National Security Council under Reagan and ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987 to 1991.

wow, this is getting pretty ugly.

Yeah. Since Bush and his cronies are not beyond dirty tricks, for those who dig into the "news" rather than just slurp up the propaganda, I fear they may be planning something horrendous in an attempt to keep the white house. It might even happen next week in an attempt to block the data coming out of torture complicity at the highest levels. Maybe something even worse than 9/11.

We see political posturing every day, it's usually just a bunch of guys speaking loudly.

I guess what surprised me this time is that, in this case, there are major political rivals actually agreeing on something. That is rare... really, REALLY, rare.
