Almost all religions peach that love is the supreme virtue... And a few spiritual teachers perceiving that we are all gifted at loving what pleases us, teach that the highest, the most edifying forms, which might ultimately save the world, involve our regard for those it is difficult to love; some of whom are our enemies.

Greg Palast manages to land himself in trouble with Homeland Security, phoned in by Exxon, while reporting on post-Katrina New Orleans.

I had originally found this, which provides some helpful background perspective.

Democracy Now has the first two parts of Palast's Katrina investigations involving Innovative Emergency Management, who was paid half a million dollars to come up with an emergency response plan that either didn't exist or would not be publicly disclosed. In a biting twist of irony, the very same private company happened to be hired to investigate the shortcomings of the of the government response to Katrina. Hmm. According to IEM's own webpage, they gave $100,000 to Bill Clinton for the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund. Hmm. You can also find Pictures of Laura Bush shmoozing with IEM executives. Hmm.
