The principal difference is that when it did, it sacked the bank’s top management and determined shareholders’ investment to be worth nil. And is now attempting to re-organize it. The Fed’s bail out of Bearish Sterns leaves its top managers – and their bonuses – and shareholders still in place, with all the uptick from the Fed’s intervention, if any, going into their pockets.

Three days’ worth of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans speaking out at the Winter Soldier 2008 conference are already archived and ready to stream or download from the KPFA site. So the table is set for us to help break big media’s boycott of the horrifying, necessary truth delivered by some great patriots. Editors, program managers, and news directors of commercial outlets throughout the country deserve a call or twenty urging them to cover and broadcast clips from this historic event.

Hence, a leading Democratic contender for presidential nominee has to defend himself against the “slur” of being called “a Muslim”, but not apparently, Jew, Baptist, Methodist or Catholic. The president is content to call his war of choice a “crusade”, imagining himself in a Robin Hood movie and not the streets of Baghdad.

The November election will be only a milestone on the journey to recovering our moral self-esteem. Mr. Bush may have stolen it, and may content himself playing the Hooverian fool in front of us, but we left the door open and unguarded. It’s time to reclaim the neighborhood Bush’s hoodlums have trashed. Not via a host of Charles Bronsons with magnums, but by turning on the street lamps, rolling up our sleeves and picking up the trash one piece at a time.

During ‘Sunshine Week,’ which is this Monday through Friday, various civic, media and government accountability groups celebrate the March 16 birth date of President James Madison and his clear statement of the principle that a democracy cannot function if citizens do not have the means and take the opportunity to look at the records and data that document just what their government is doing.
