"These are not the droids you are looking for."

My son often speaks in "movie language." He quotes a line from a movie in a conversation with others. He expects them to both understand the allusion and if they are really sharp, to respond with the next line from the movie. It is a wonderful game and when we do it well, our conversations leave others who may be listening totally in the dark. We seldom explain.

He might know that the first line of this blog reflects directly on the preznit's late Friday pronouncement that there should be no investigation of the destruction of CIA tapes that showed the torture of prisoners in American captivity. I missed the "pseudo news conference" (actaully only another propaganda opportunity), where he pretened to be Obi-Wan Kenobi practicing mind control over storm troopers in order to pass through a check point. "These are not the droids you are looking for." "It is better if there is no investigation of the destroyed CIA tapes." Now, we should all believe those words and get on with our lives.

Another Bush administration scandal.
