quote:Who is the U.S. currently at war with? According to the Pentagon, it's best if you don't know the answer to that question. In a national security speech this spring, President Obama said we were fighting "al-Qaida, the Taliban and their associated forces." Afterward, Sen. Carl Levin asked the Defense Department for a list of who exactly those "associated forces" included, but he didn't get it. According to Levin's office, a Pentagon spokesman said that was classified: "Because elements that might be considered 'associated forces' can build credibility by being listed as such by the United States, we have classified that list. We cannot afford to inflate these organizations ." Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard Law professor might have put it best when he asked, "If the organizations are 'inflated' enough to be targeted with military force, why cannot they be mentioned publicly?"

It's citizens that work for a living.
Perpetual war, wasn't that a part of the world of "1984"?
Yeah, that's the book that the powers that be want us to forget about and was wiped from Kindles, etc.
I wonder why!
