Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Reagan administration, was Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Contributing Editor of National Review.
He coauthored of "The Tyranny of Good Intentions."
He is highly critical of this administration and has been a life long Republican. He brings up everything we are THINKING, but has the courage to put it into words.........for example:

>"I abandoned right-wing Reaganism and become an apostle for truth and justice. When I saw that the neoconservative response to 9/11 was to turn a war against stateless terrorism into military attacks on Muslim states, I realized that the Bush administration was committing a strategic blunder with open-ended disastrous consequences for the US."

About the neocons:
>"In Reagan's time we did not recognize that neoconservatives had a Jacobin frame of mind. Reagan was certainly no neoconservative. He went along with some of their schemes, but when neoconservatives went too far, he fired them. George W. Bush promotes them."

About the illegal wiretaps:
>"Bewitched by neoconservatives and lustful for power, the Bush administration and the Republican Party are aligning themselves firmly against the American people. The Bush administration is now using blackmail obtained through illegal spying on American citizens to silence the media and the opposition party. The United States is undergoing a coup against the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, civil liberties, and democracy itself."

About Homeland Security:
>"Homeland Security and the Patriot Act are not our protectors. Those with a tyrannical turn of mind have always used fear and hysteria to overcome obstacles to their power and to gain new means of silencing opposition. Consider the no-fly list. According to reports, the list now comprises 80,000 names! The list has no accountability. People on the list cannot even find out why they are on the list. There is no recourse, no procedure for correcting mistakes."

And those who profit by it:
>"Americans need to understand that many interests are using the "war on terror" to achieve their agendas. The Federalist Society is using the "war on terror" to achieve its agenda of concentrating power in the executive and packing the Supreme Court to this effect. The neocons are using the war to achieve their agenda of Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. Police agencies are using the war to remove constraints on their powers and to make themselves less accountable. Republicans are using the war to achieve one-party rule--theirs. The Bush administration is using the war to avoid accountability and evade constraints on executive powers. Arms industries are using the war to fatten profits. Security firms are using it to gain customers."

Conclusion:
>"Bush is committing America to a path of violence and coercion, and he is getting away with it."
This short article is chilling in it's implications and is a worthwhile <read.>
