		<description><![CDATA[By Sherwood Ross
The Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) has confirmed the worst fears of its creator President Harry Truman that it might degenerate into “an American Gestapo.” It has  been just that for so long it is beyond redemption. It represents 60 years of failure and fascism utterly at odds with the spirit of a democracy [...]

According to him, tea-partiers must unite around the candidate who a) most closely matches the tea-party ideals and b) can win. He wrote to me and asked very plainly, [...]
