Blogging: turns out, not a waste of time

In a letter to President-elect Barack Obama, John Brennan asked that his name be taken out of consideration for the position of head of the CIA. From the letter:

"[There has been] strong criticism in some quarters prompted by my previous services with the Central Intelligence Agency."

Where did this criticism come from? The progressive blogs on the internet. 

Why did they criticize this pick? Brennans apathy towards rendition and harsh interrogations. (read torture). 

So for people who might think blogging is a waste of time or doesn't make a difference, start paying attention. Who are the media turning to for perspective on up-to-the-minute developments on current events? 

Looks like it's us.

I watched the voting increase by 20 votes at a time within a short period of time. Someone isnt playing fair to vote numerous times saying that 85% killing is ok.
With the dishonest going ons at Capital area why should I be surprised that they are cheating with this also?
