Time Wonders if Maybe All Those Terrorism Arrests Weren’t Legit

Looks like even the mainstream media is growing skeptical of the government’s terrorism arrests. Time speculates that the JFK plot was overhyped, listing eight reasons why the prosecutor and the folks above her were willing to scare Americans with outrageous statements like the one where she said the plot “could have resulted in unfathomable damage, deaths and destruction.” Clearly nonsense, and I’m glad Time is catching on. As for Mother Jones, we reached this point years ago. Jose Padilla and the Lackawanna Six were enough.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
