"In The Creature from Jekyll Island, G. Edward Griffin formulates succinctly the financiers' compelling interest in war: 'All that is necessary ... to insure that a government will maintain or expand its debt is to involve it in war or the threat of war. The greater the threat and the more destructive the war, the greater the need for debt.'" --Nicholas Strakon

"We're now in a situation where you've got powerful newspaper executives like Al Neuharth, the former chairman of the Gannett chain making idiotic statements like, 'There are no more secrets in the world.' From the highest mountain to the lowest valley... Pete Williams is now a reporter -- the guy who lied again and again during the Gulf War and lied directly to me. I can honestly call him a liar and never lose a libel suit. He is now a reporter for NBC. Bob Woodward, the hero of Watergate, sits on stories" --An investigative journalist's take on media censorship in the first Gulf War (deja vu)
