Oh no, they're on to my evil plan

As everyone knows, being a liberal, I hate America. As such I've calculated each of my criticisms to invigorate the terrorists and thus kill more Americans. And I would have gotten away with it, if not for that damn Secretary of Defense and his cunning logic. Well, now that I'm figured out I might as well participate in tomorrow's GOP fundraiser and admit defeat.

Seriously, though. There's a word for when the ruling party classifies dissent as treason. And it ain't "democracy".

Update: Billmon has more. Specifically, reacting to this excerpt from the article:

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, concluding a four-day trip to Iraq and Afghanistan, said today that critics of the Bush administration's Iraq policy are encouraging terrorists and complicating the ongoing U.S. war on terrorism.

"We know for a fact . . . that terrorists studied Somalia and they studied instances where the United States was dealt a blow and tucked in and persuaded themselves they could, in fact, cause us to acquiesce in whatever it is they wanted us to do," he told reporters aboard his plane.

He writes:

And exactly who "encouraged the terrorists" by criticizing the Clinton Administration's admittedly FUBAR intervention in Somalia? Was it, perhaps, the likes of Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott?

Clearly, the dry rot of terrorist subversion has spread far.
