On Pacifica Radio’s “Democracy Now,” leftist wacko/ former Labour MP Tony Benn was outrageously predictable this morning in turning the whole discussion into how these attacks will focus on the need for everyone to withdraw from the war in Iraq, and that suicide bombers and stealth bombers accomplish the same thing: kill innocent civilians for political purposes.

Pacifica stations are all funded in part from “community service grants” by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, adding up to about $1 million in federal dollars every year. That does not include the public radio and TV stations that run “Democracy Now” who are not Pacifica-owned.
