    At least Ms. Hughes has the common sense to bury this corpse. Now, perhaps she can set her sights toward burying the corpse of Al-Hurrah Television, another ill-conceived, Madison Avenue-ish concoction that has done far more harm than good.

    Still, no amount of PR or journalistic effort and savvy can put a truly positive face on a broken and unworkable -- and thus "unsellable" foreign policy.

    It's amazing! With all these new "greenwashing" campaigns the FTC environmental marketing enforcement has dramatically decreased. At least that appears to be the case according to their enforcement website. In 1991 the FTC published environmental guidelines to help regulate environmental marketing claims. In the last seven years or so they have paid those guidelines little if any attention.

    I heard Bush Sr.personally deliver an atrocity tale
    that been revived from I don't remember where.

    The Iraqis ordered a family to bring out their
    sons who were shot before the parents eyes. "And
    then they charged the parents for the bullets used
    to kill their sons", said Bush.

    Not sure of the venue, possibily a meeting of
    religious leaders.

    The Bush/Reagan/NeoCons are so certain of their
    ability to fool the gullible Americans that their
    stories don't even
    need to sound plausible or make sense anymore.
