"Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression." - Thomas Jefferson, 1st Inaugural address, 1801

At least he doesn't have to worry about gun-crazy Air Marshals...

James Moore. Emmy-winning news correspondent, co-author of Bush's Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush President, Texas resident.

Threat to our skies.

Apparently, for the past year, Mr. Moore, who has been chronicling the rise of Rove and Bush for over 20 years, has been deemed dangerous enough to land on the "no-fly watch" list. He doesn't know why. He can't find out why. There's no legal recourse to tell him why or to even challenge his name being on the list. But there he is.

Now, for me, someone who hates flying, this would be a big nothing. I can't fly? Bah, real Americans drive, anyway. Flying is for terrorists, communists and Democrats.

However, for Mr. Moore, who's job as a political correspondent requires extensive travel, this is basically a great big "Screw you" from an administration that isn't above using the laws that are supposed to be increasing our safety as petty weapons in a juvenile war on anyone who disagrees with them.

So now we know. Write a book critical about BushCo and they'll fuck you any way they can.
