I'm troubled by this too. We are comming out of a VERY bad time, and history will remeber it as such. The 2006 election, proved that the right-wing administration will NO longer be believed. The 2008 election will clean up the remaining artifacts. It's tough to believe what happened, did happen. But it did. There exists BOTH a "mass hysteria" & a "mass stupidity".

The right-wing administration exploited both. Got to give them credit for seeing an opportunity & taking it. Now they need to be ended, their loop holes closed!
