Burdens of Proof

The bush administration lies. they've been lying from the moment bush took the Oath of office in January, 2001. We know they lie, because they've used lies on their people in the past.

Their lies have led to:
- the looting of the US Treasury;
- two wars where 100,000+ Afghans and Iraqis have been killed, and 2100+ American military have been killed;
- the rape of the Bill of Rights;
- false and illegal arrests and detention of American citizens;
- the destruction of the social safety net for American workers.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. It goes on and on. Now cheney's bitching because they're being called out for their lies. Well, that's too bad. His statements of innocence and outrage are just so much fluff. "They're lying. It's just false, not true, inaccurate and typical.", as rumsfeld has put it.

Well, to paraphrase cheney as he put it so elegantly regarding Saddam Hussein, "The burden of proof is entirely on the bush administration - not on the people of the United States or anyone else."

Show us the proof that you haven't been lying to us. If you can't, then, well....What can I say? We'll have to assume the worst, and we don't want the "smoking gun to be in the form of a mushroom cloud".
