Bush 와 그의 똘마니들: 欺瞞의 高手들
오늘 미국 정가의 최대 화제는 아무래도 Al Gore가 맨하탄의 한 극장에서 했던 연설이었다. 혹한의 추위에도 환경 문제와 부시 정권의 정책 비판에 대한 그의 연설을 듣기 위해 수많은 인파가 몰렸다고 한다. 뉴욕타임스 칼럼니스트 Bob Herbert가 연설장 스케치와 연설 요약을 했다. 길게 이어지는 기립 박수 속에서, "다수표를 얻고도 대통령이 될 수 없었던 비운의 정치인" Al Gore는 왜 부시와 그의 똘마니들이 기만(欺瞞)의 고수(高手)들로 불리는가에 대해 명쾌한 해답을 주고 있다. (Gatorlog관련 글: Bush The Misleader)
"In preparing this series of speeches, I have noticed a troubling pattern that characterizes the Bush-Cheney administration's approach to almost all issues. In almost every policy area, the administration's consistent goal has been to eliminate any constraints on their exercise of raw power, whether by law, regulation, alliance or treaty. And in the process, they have in each case caused America to be seen by the other nations of the world as showing disdain for the international community"....
"They devise their policies with as much secrecy as possible," he said, "and in close cooperation with the most powerful special interests that have a monetary stake in what happens. In each case, the public interest is not only ignored, but actively undermined. In each case, they devote considerable attention to a clever strategy of deception that appears designed to prevent the American people from discerning what it is they are actually doing".....
"Indeed, they often use Orwellian language to disguise their true purposes. For example, a policy that opens national forests to destructive logging of old-growth trees is labeled Healthy Forest Initiative. A policy that vastly increases the amount of pollution that can be dumped into the air is called the Clear Skies Initiative." 뉴욕타임스 op-ed Masters of Deception에서 인용
