They don’t trust ANYONE who questions them or even wants information about what’s really happening. It’s become so Orwellian — an endless war against an invisible enemy — that you’ve got to wonder how real this enemy is. Certainly the insurgents we’re fighting in Iraq have little to do with the guys who did 9/11, and despite the torture, internal spying and endless airport searches and harassment on anybody who isn’t a rich Republican there have been precious few dastardly plots spoiled. Again it’s "trust us American lives are saved by destroying American freedom" but if there were really concrete cases of that you can bet they would be leaked right away for maximum spin, and certainly NONE of the much trumpeted cases of anti-terrorism that got to the legal courts have amounted to ANYTHING. It’s almost amusing to see the shills of the corporate world contorting themselves to support Bush in every way, not because they really believe in the anti-terrorist crusade as anything but a way to sell him to the public, but because they want to get their taxes cut again and run roughshod over the various Governmental agencies that are supposed to protect the public against them. Occasionally some natural disaster or military losses will blow back the curtain to reveal the utter ineptitude and just plain wrongness of this administration. Soon enough, however the din of right wing radio, TV and bloggers, all underwritten by Bush’s corporate friends obscures everything in noise. But wrap yourself in your "patriotism" and belief in Big Daddy my friend, let Rove spin you into dizziness as they pick your pocket and kill your son and murder your freedom. Just trust them — they know what they’re doing, right?
