The Paranoid Bush Administration

OK. Kevin Drum and Atrios point out this:

The CITEL Inter-American Telecommunication Commission is having a meeting to determine the standards for interconnectivity in the following areas:

Recommendation for 400 MHz bands
RLAN in the 5 GHz band
Recommendation on harmonized frequencies for property protection
Revision to Recommendation PCC.II/REC. 67 (XIX-01) on Low Power Radiocommunication devices,
Radio frequency identification devices (RFID)
Broadband Power Line Communications (BPL)
Refarming of 700 MHz band
Answer to Market questionnaire on IMT 2000 and systems beyond
Results of the video conference on wireless broadband

Time Magazine reports that "At least four of the two dozen or so U.S. delegates selected for the meeting, sources tell TIME, have been bumped by the White House because they supported John Kerry's 2004 campaign."

This is paranoid partisan madness!

The White House people must think everyone is out to get them, and with stupid behavior like this, such behavior becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
