Another Wiki you should know about….
4 MayPeople For The American Way have a new Wiki on The Presidency. From their main page: (Underlines are my highlighting.)
People For the American Way believes that a healthy democracy is an informed democracy. We have created www.WikiThePresidency.org to establish a single place for the public to both acquire and share information about Executive Branch wrongdoings.
Currently the listed topics include:
- Torture
- Detentions
- Possible Constitutional Violations
- Political Abuse of Power
- Taxpayer Funded Propaganda
- Suppression of Information
- Interference with Investigations
- Katrina
- General Corruption
This may lead you to some things you don’t know, and maybe even a few you wish you didn’t. For example: Pentagon Caught Spying on U.S. Anti-War and Anti-Nuclear Activists
Now I have assumed for some time that I and people I care about were likely on at least one list somewhere…
