Once again, the United States government, possessing the most advanced communications and intelligence sensors in use in the world today, failed to warn a a region of the world about an
impending tsunami.
In 2004, it was the Indian Ocean basin, in 2006 it was Java, today, it was the western part of the Solomon Islands chain. Hundreds of thousands of people have needlessly died because
the United States will not use its advanced ground sensors, intelligence platforms, and global communications reach to save lives.
Instead, the Bush administration uses America's intelligence systems to target sheep herders in Somalia, villagers in Iraq, and farmers in Afghanistan. All the while, the Bush administration cuts back on Voice of America broadcasts to make way for more global propagandizing from the likes of Rupert Murdoch and the corporate barons at Disney, AOL Time Warner, General Electric, and CBS/Viacom.
