We have a media that goes along with the government by parroting phrases intended to provoke a certain emotional response - for example, "national security."

I don't know Condoleezza Rice personally. I'm sure she's a nice lady, and I'm sure she plays the piano well. But she was a very bad National Security Adviser. The National Security Adviser is supposed to be an arbiter of policy and open minded in internal debates.
