John Pilger: Partner in Terrorism

Kerry's Lennon Gambit
NY Post: "Sen. John Kerry is distributing fliers in New York with a 30-year-old photo of him and Beatle John Lennon to woo anti-war presidential voters as he competes with rival Howard Dean in blasting President Bush on Iraq." Here's the photo:

This is cynically meant to convince the anti-war crowd that despite the fact that Kerry voted in favor of the Iraq war, he really is anti-war at heart, and has the pictorial evidence to back that up. He was standing next to John "Give Peace a Chance" Lennon, for god's sake!
But some anonymous person, who many suspect is a Dean insider, released the following photo, which does muddy the water a bit concerning Kerry's actual stance on the issue of war.

So is Kerry pro-war or anti-war? Democratic voters were demanding the circumstancial photographic proof. Responding to the leaked Hitler photo within hours, as is required these days what with the 24-hour news cycle, Kerry's campaign manager posted this photo to the offical John Kerry GeoCities website, thus proving Kerry's commitment to both peace and non-violent forms of protest:

In the end, this battle appears to be a complete wash for Kerry. But in what may portend the future strategy of the Kerry campaign, high level talks were reportedly taking place between Kerry's team and Adobe, the makers of PhotoShop.

You know what Dean's main problem is? It's not his leftist take on the war. It's not the fact that his political experience was gained in a state smal
OK. A day late. It's the though that counts. But just what is that thought?
