Quote of the Day

“And yet, the American media refuses to understand what American citizens understand quite well: particularly as to matters of American national security, the fact that people in other countries are opposed to what we are doing does not mean that what we are doing is misguided or wrong. That seems like a simple concept to grasp, and yet a central argument of the American media, vividly re-appearing with Bush’s Latin American trip, is that the “people in other countries dislike Bush, therefore he is a bad President.”

— Glenn Greenwald, lamenting something or another on his blog in 2005.
