Awareness Is Free

Truthdig just posted this video interview with Gore Vidal, one of my favorite American writers.
Selected quotes:

So, my fellow countrymen, as I sit here, not yet at Gettysburg, I have a notion that this is the most important vote that you’ll probably ever cast. Because should this gang of thugs continue in the two houses of Congress, there isn’t any chance of getting the Constitution back….

Am I a conspiracy buff? No, but I’m a conspiracy analyst
and I know where there’s a conspiracy and how it is working.

So this [election] is the last chance really… to have a new, a clean sweep… Now it has got to happen or — Welcome to the Third Reich.

This makes me proud to be called a pinko leftist fag.

Lie by Lie: Chronicle of a War Foretold: August 1990 to March 2003

The first drafts of history are fragmentary. Important revelations arrive late, and out of order. In this timeline, we’ve assembled the history of the Iraq War to create a resource we hope will help resolve open questions of the Bush era. What did our leaders know and when did they know it? And, perhaps just as important, what red flags did we miss, and how could we have missed them? This is the first installment in our Iraq War timeline project.
