i think you missed my point, pan, but that was probably a function of my tone...i find the claim that this administration is not already using the london plot as political fodder to be disengenuous and i personally have little patience with it.
i do not see any function that could possibly be served by the illusion of unity behind ways of operating that seem to me fundamentally disengenuous. maybe you do--but i don't. i do not see the official american interpretation of this conspiracy as being a matter of popular politics--it is political manoevering by an administration that finds itself in deep shit--that is worried about all kinds of repercussions if the right gets swept out of power in congress in november---think about the administration's attempts to float a bill that would redefine war crimes such that americans cannot commit them. that kind of thing.
have you seen von trier's film dogville?
sometimes i think he is right about the us in that film.
