Guilty knowledge. The Bush Administration seems to be moving ahead on several fronts. On one front, they are prosecuting a war by perpetrating war crimes, while at the same time hustling around trying to secure immunity for themselves and their minions from prosecution for these crimes before onal tribunal of any kind.

To say the least, such self-interested hedging strongly suggests the PNAC gallery of miscreants harbor guilty knowledge of how much trouble could face when the jig is up And the jug will come up, though it may be years before we see it, considering the level of intentional ignorance the American public maintains.

We define the world in terms of our own experience.
