The gloves need to come off before the 30 + year running revisionist history of Vietnam and the McCain as a war hero are rolled out like Arc Light by the Republican slime machine. This is a nice little article from the Asia Times (no U.S. media source would dare to print it) on how McCain, a self admitted war criminal would be treated if he were a Democrat. Truth is that he is NO hero and some may even call him a traitor.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
