Here Shaw wraps up his piercing inquiry into the ongoing dysfunction and self-censorship of the ostensible leaders of the “anti-war left.” Whether dissecting the dark ironic roots of major “progressive” icons’ funding or their blithe “lesser evil” boosting of corporatist Dems, he exposes troubling motives for both their 9/11 phobia and aversion to looking behind the curtain at how the show is really run. Let us hope this brave little home team truthout inspires many more of us to move beyond muzzled leaders and reclaim the power of fearless dissent.
