Big Brother? Dan Rather? Ward Churchill?

If he's out there, we need him now. Why isn't he locking up the press and all liberal bloggers? Why isn't Voice of America rectifying and popping Abu Ghraib, Gitmo and Secret CIA Prisons in Eastern Europe down the memory hole? I don't get it. We've been promised Big Brother! Where is he?

How come we have to search everywhere to find positive news from Iraq? What's with all these leaks out of the CIA and NSA? It seems like someone doesn't want the glorious war to be won.

Unless . . .? It's really pretty clever, when you think about it. Leaking is the reverse of a cover-up. A cover-up seeks to suppress information that would hurt the regime. Leaking goes one step further and releases classified information selectively in order to give the impression that something bad is being covered up.

Big Brother is indeed out there, but he's running the news media!
