		<description><![CDATA[Another in Sibel Edmonds&#8217; Boiling Frog interviews on the National Security Apparat. Very worthwhile &#8212; as they&#8217;ve all been. This is number 18. She&#8217;s leading one of the most important discussions around. Ellsberg is measured in assessing Obama, and even so the judgments are bleak. Syncs well with my own black-biled broodings.

The inaugural address was drafted by a 27-year old and its first scripted sentence &#8212; &#8220;Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath&#8221; &#8212; was false. (There have been 44 distinct administrations but 22 and 24 were presided [...]]]></description>
